I just tryed some Algea Destroyer,over nite my indoor pond fish container is crystal clear..Is this stuff Toxic to the fish,it seems to easy to ad some drops and have it all better..

As far as I know, any Algae killer is toxic to fish, whether the label says it is safe or not. I have heard several stories of people losing all their fish due to the use of an algae remover...

if you have green water, try a UV sterilizer if you can.

Yeah if you have to use chemicals to kill something, it's probably best not to use it with fish in the tank.

I pumped my pond water into my holding tank and for some reason the heat ,light or whatever,it turned dark green in about a week so its a seasonal problem so i tryed a quick fix..Hopefully it wont turn back. if it does ill probably go with a uv sterilizer..i could use it on my pond too i guess..Do you have to runn them all the time,and how expensive is it to run-maintain?

UV sterilizer is a great way to kill the suspended algae in the water. Once the problem is taken care of you can turn off the light for a while. I leave mine on all the time and I usually end up cleaning it out about once a month. I'm not sure how much it costs to run per month.

The algae killers are snail and invert killers too.

I found out the hard way not to use them. Just a couple months ago we put to much in our divided 20g and killed all 4 of our beautiful male betta's. :(
