I have a lion's head fountain on my patio with about a 12 gallon fill basin on the bottom. The water flows out of the lion's mouth into an upper basin with three outlets in which I stacked some river rocks to improve the flows. There are no fish or plants. Algae has started to accumulate on the rocks and in the bottom basin, and I'd like to put somethingin the water to keep down the green. My dad suggested bleach, but birds use this fountain as a bird bath and I don't want to do anything to hurt them. Any suggestions? If bleach would work, how much should I put in, or in what ratio of bleach to water? Thanks in advance for any info. If you need to see the fountain to get an idea of the size, here's a link:
