hello,

I have an indoor pond that keeps developing a white film on the black
sides of the rubber liner (I have rocks on the bottom). Any idea why I
get this film? What is it? Should I remove it with an algae pad?

Thanks
Leslie

most likely calcium (have alkaline water?).. I wouldnt bother, the algae will grow
right over the top. Ingrid
