I haven't tried it with anything soft. I would not expect it to work with algae. Too soft and flexible.

I agree with the other 2 answers in that algae must go through the filter to be killed. I would try some algae wafers also,they will soften up when soaked and can be broken up when dry for smaller portions. Hope you have continued success.

if you have a filter like a canister filter that is where the good bacteria lives it only gets rid of algae and suspended water based bacteria if that makes any sense it will not harm your fish or plants it will take out medicine so unplug it if you are going to ever have to use medicine I got mine for a algae problem and it cleared it up in about 5 days hope this helped

Ihaven't had to remove pebbles or stones. It does well on bugs, but not algae and i have the "fine" filter bag that is supposed to remove algae.

We just bought a light from our pet store. It works just fine. Doesn't make algae and can sit on the back glass without having troubles opening the top. Hope this helped.

I have know idea. I used it on a Patio with black algae / mold. It took about a week... followed directions and re-treated. It cleaned it up and I have not had to use it since. I would buy it again, but it looks like I will not have to.

Thiis UP-23 13 watt unit was purchased by me in December 2012 and I am not sure if it was a 2013 model but it definitely worked for my free floating algae bloom. I understand that it will not control string algae, Dennis. There is no production date on the box which I kept in case it didn't work but it does! I am a real person that hesitated to spend that much but it was worth it for the water clarity.

I suggest putting algicide and chlorine in your pool to kill whatever it is that growing. This pool cleaner picks up everything on the bottom. I have never had an algae problem so I can't say that it will clean it off your pool.

We used this filter as a secondary unit in a much larger (1500 gal) pond to help with algae control. Since it is not very easy to clean the filter, I would not use it as an only filter unit. I think that it was hellpful in algae control as would recommend it as a secondary unit. The fountain is nice and, of course, helps to aerate the water.

it cleans very well not sure about algae. I use chemicals to kill the algae and then i clean the pool filter several times

No. This is for green and yellow algae. The chemistry of black algaecide is different.

This product doesn't reduce algae. It will help clarify the water and reduce smells produced by waste. A good filter with a steady flow of water paired with this will help keep your tank clear and algae free.

Yes, It attaches to your sink to make clean water for the aquarium which will help keep algae down.

I had a couple floating ball plants in my tank with this light. Sorry I don't know the actual plant name. They did well before they became too algae covered (a problem I've been having with this particular tank). Therefore I think this light would work with the plants you mentioned. Hope this helps!

Yes it will, but it may not discharge them through the discharge hose and you might have to clean the filter. Most of the small leaves and algae go right through the machine and out the discharge hose, which saves a lot of time.

I think it would work with plants, but you might need one more light kit. This would give you better light for the whole tank

I did not think it would but my pump died in the middle of cold season so by the time I got it up and running again, some algae accumulated in my pool. I treated the pool with some algaecide then afterwards I ran my Dolphin. I was going to help it out with some brushing but noticed that my Dolphin did the job just fine. Must clean the filters after each run because as you know dead algae does a great job of clogging up filters and decreases the cleaning efficiency of any cleaning system. Love my Dolphin.
