Just want to clarify:
When you write "you don't need anything for algae," I'm guessing that you are referring to algaecide? Algaecide is a pretty good preventative but doesn't really help much when you already have an existing algae bloom. The best thing to get rid of algae is just lots of chlorine.

(I may be wrong about what you meant but just thought this would be a good time to remind people about this.)
