I can't really afford more plants right now. My marsh marigold has kicked the bucket and my other plants are either still sleeping (this is the first year for them) or not growing fast enough to outcompete the string algae. if i dose the pond with 1/2 cup H2O2 per 100 gallons (which is the recommended ratio in a couple of articles I've read this morning) am I going to kill off my good bacteria?
my thought is that by killing off the string algae and removing it, i'll remove the nutrients that made it grow. If more forms, I'll repeat the process until either winter comes or the pond finds its balance but i can see where that might be shooting myself in the foot if it kills the bacteria I need for pond health.
