Effect of Temp on Algae?

[English Lion]

Does anyone know if temp. effects algae in anyway? and how much?

 

[The Mohave Kid]

Ohh .. I'm sure it does .. I'd bet the ideal range is the same as for tropical fish

My pool stays almost Algae free in the winter when temps are in the low 60 F or so range ..

Good Day ... B)

I would assume that higher temps would increase the metabolism of algae (as with all living things) thus making it grow quicker. Obviously too heat much may kill the algae - but probably kill the fish and higher plants first.

That's my guess anyway.
