Phycomycin is a granular product that attacks planktonic and filamentous algae on contact. You can actually see it working as you apply. Fast-acting, it leaves behind no harmful residues and adds bio-available oxygen to the water.

Phycomycin is effective both as an algaecide (eliminating existing blue-green algae infestations) and as an algaestat (i.e., retarding and preventing new growth). It works quickly, and neither it nor its byproducts (hydrogen peroxide and oxygen) linger in the ecosystem.
