    Unhappy Will adding borax to 50ppm kill Mustard algae

    I am having a hell of a time this year with Mustard algae.
    I think I'm gonna add Borax to 50ppm asper the posts I have searched.
    Will this kill off the algae or must I kill it before I add the Borax?
    How much Borax and how much acid will I need to reach 50ppm?
    I come up with 34 LBS. Borax & 2 GALS., 17oz. of acid.
    Could I try Seaklear Algae Prevention & Remover or SeaKlear Yellow Klear and if so, Which? I'm kinda leaning towards the Algae Prevention & Remover.
    Thanks for any help!
