no i put about 2 cups depending on the size of your pond.mine is 1100 gallons..i put it in a bucket and add the pond water (not tap) mix it up then pour it in the pond...whatever is circulating it will go through..i have never had string algae and i live in louisiana...i put it in once a week...i also every now and then put my koi food in the  clay watered bucket to soak a few minutes then give to the fish,it helps they're digestive system...

i have felt fear plenty of times...my fish nibble on my ankles and swim around my feet so that freaks me out ...i think that since the water is merky it gives you the creeps anyway when u get in....
