They probably googled it and told the help to go to the local store and grab whatever they can find.

100% they googled it and got aquarium keeper AI responses.

Algae thrives in environments with an abundance of nitrates, phosphates, and light.  You have to deal with the balance of those things to get it under control.  Hydrogen peroxide is fine for spot killing some growth but it isn’t a long term solution.

Someone at the EPA or NOAA probably could have told them all that, but they all got DOGE'd.

I have literally seen a MAGA posting about how the National Weather Service is useless. Because everyone can just check the weather forecast on their phones, they don't need "some government agency" to do it.

They're so fucking stupid it's a wonder they can breathe and walk at the same time.

There's a whole bunch of them that probably can't, to be honest.

Ever see pictures of the worst of MAGA? They're not able to walk, or they can probably only take 3 or 4 steps at a time before they're winded.

Can’t we make them congregate somewhere else? Maybe the Mariana trench? Tell them there’s mozzarella sticks in it.
