    yellow/mustard algae

    I have been looking all over the internet for the answer to a question. How do I know if yellow/mustard algae is dead? I slammed the pool and kept it at above shock level for 48 hours. I also initially used yellow out. It has been 5 days, appx 40 gallons shock = 80 gallons bleach. My FC level is...
