| 719356 | 2008-11-11 10:57:00 | I'm serious, I worked at Science Alive for a while and they had big problems with algae growth etc in the exhibits that had water in them, after much research it was found that Toilet Duck was the best solution if you took everything into account. Experiment to find the least amount that stops the growth, don't just put heaps in, not sure of the effect on some metals although it should be ok on aluminium. |

Wouldn't it leave a film on the clear plastic piping? |

| 719358 | 2008-11-11 21:01:00 | Does it matter? As long as it doesn't interrupt water flow or corrode anything. Have you talked to the NZOC crowd? |
