Hi Piney

If you get ANY deposits could you send me a sample, please?

Also...if you could take a picture from above the water would be helpful as well. Does it "stick" to the bottom or sides? or does it easily get stirred up?

But I would also like to see you "suck" up a sample of this algae from the bottom of the pool.

To collect it...Take your pool water sample bottle or some type of squeeze bottle (with the dropper tip) and squeeze out all the air above water. Then exhale and SLOWLY swim to the bottom of the pool where some of the mustard algae is. Once you gently approach the algae with the dropper tip start to release the pressure on the bottle to draw the algae into the bottle. Do this in a couple of different spots until the bottle is full of algae and water. Next...slowly pour the water over an old pair of nylons to filter out the algae letting the water flow thru. Then you could put the remaining algae in a ziplock bag and send it to me for some closer examination under the microscope.

If you would be able to help out send me a private message and I'll get you my e-mail.

thanks!
