Here are a couple of products:
Algaecide (5%), 4L | Canadian Tire
Liquid Algaecide 15%, 3.78L | Canadian Tire

Thanks for this info, David and Silken!
In fact, I've already bought a bottle for Algae-Kill 40% from the Wal-Mart.
Can you advise on dosage though? I'm concerned that this is a very strong, concentrated stuff and I'm not sure that even a drop or two per gallon could cause harm rather than help?
Thanks again!
