yes, to an extend it can help but too much can be a defect to photosynthesis because the algae prevents the sun from coming through
Pool Shock
A D.E filter gives you an extremely consistent, and highly effective filtration. However, in certain situations it is better to bypass the filter. Such as the event of an extreme algae bloom. Superchlorination kills the algae, flocculant will coagulate the deader algae and make it settle to the bottom. But if you pass that muck through your filter its not only bad for your filter. But it will make you lose your attitude also. The easiest solution is to add a three way valve between the pump and the filter. Which will allow you vacuum without bogging down the filter.

The sand filter wont make a pool green this happens a s a result of algae.
mussels filter plankton suspended in the water column, which would include algae.
It is an algae that grows in a diesel fuel tank. It can plug up a fuel filter in no time.
They ate it or it go stuck in the filter. Check the filter and see if it's there. If not, it may have gotten stuck in the filter, staved and then when it washed out of the filter the fish ate it.
If it is free of water and does not have algae in it, then the fuel should be fine. You can send a sample off to be tested. I would also recommend treating it with a treatment that will kill algae and also running it through a water separator filter to make sure you remove any water. Some fuel additives can emulsify the water in the fuel also, so it is carried through the fuel system and burned off with the fuel without settling out in the vehicle's fuel system and casing damage.
Algae or plankton
If you have algae growing in your whole house filter, you will want to take care of it before it grows any further. You will need to discard the old filters, clean the housing with bleach to kill the algae, and put new filters in.
