Can you clear a pool that has great amount of algae buildup without draining it?
Yes, you can. First, add your algaecide. Second, add a flocculant (or coagulant). Third, shock the pool. Fourth, run the filter constantly. After a day or two, the dead algae will settle out. Vacuum it out to waste. Good luck.
Can pebble tech be used in a pond?
I am not familiar with pebble tech so I looked it up on their web page. If you were using cement I would caution you about the lye leaching into the water and the consequent change in ph. To take that concept forward, I would question if there is any potential for the chemistry in the pebble process to end up changing the chemistry of the water. Of course that would not make a difference in a swimming pool but would certainly be an issue if you intend to put fish in your pond. My second thought is that a vital part of the biology of your pond will the the fine fuzzy hair-like algae that will eventually grow on all the surfaces of your pond. If you go to great expense to have a pretty surface, you will certainly be unhappy when that algae appears. But wait! That algae serves a valuable service in keeping your pond water clear. 1) It provides surface area for your beneficial bacteria to grow on. (it is these bacteria that compete with the algae for nutrients) 2) it consumes the nutrients that, if not consumed, will turn into 'pea soup' algae. This may not be the yes/no answer you wanted, but it will give you some questions to ask and some understanding of your pond biology. (www.rosepond.com)

I suppose so
Can algae make a relationship with fungi on ground and how?
fungi and algae can grow together and produce substabnce called lichen, on the surface of the rocks. fungus provide algae with protection, whereas algae provide fungus with nutrients.
What advantage does this surface texture and a robustbut flexible body provide for brown algae?
The advantage that the surface texture that a robust and flexible body provides for the brown algae is the durability. The other advantage is the attraction.
Why is phosphate bad for dish detergents?
because detergents end up turning into dish water and draining into the ocean and that causes an algae bloom and that blocks out sun light for other plants and all the plants below the algae dies
What is the name of the plant without root?
