Warm Weather Alert
 
Take special precautions when using algaecides during the  summer, when the temperatures reach  the 90s to 100+ degrees.  They can become harmful to your fish by depleting the oxygen in your water, which is already in short supply when the weather is warm.  It is best to skip your treatments until the temperature cools or use a beneficial bacteria product instead.
