Will this product remove dead algae?

My bio reactor uses 25 gallons of this media. I'd say it does a good job or scrubbing dead material from the water. I notice some getting back into the system every now and then, but the media design, while compacted, allows for good screening of all materials that make it into the reactor.

Are these made with new or recycled plastic?

It specifies VIRGIN HDPE raw materials multiple times in the description, currently. But seeing as you asked this question 3 years ago, I don't know what the description said back then...

My product was recieved with a hole in box and was not even in a bag. How am i supposed to know if i even have all of my material??

What ever you bought measure by a gallon container, cubic foot measure by 12 x 12 x 12 box,

How much cubic feet do i need for the 55 gallon drum ?

You do not want to pack a 55 gallon drum full. For moving bed, you only want it about 1/3 to 1/2 full. For a static bed, MAYBE 2/3 full.
