Thank you very much for all the replies. It has been a real learning
experience. Now my only question is: What do I do with the algae I
still have on the liner? Should I refill the pond, and leave it as is
for spring, or refill and use a treatment of some kind, then drain and
refill one last time?
========================
If it's hair algae use a toilet or bottle brush to remove it as best you can
and add as many pond plants as possible including Hornwart and Elodea. In
the spring add water lettuce and water hyacinth, don't overfeed and maybe
cut back on the number of fish in your pond. More partial water changes
should be considered. All these things should help get rid of it.
