Hi newguy,

Nice pond. Nice pix.

Jammer is right: Lots more plants, some that grow like crazy (Think hyacinth
or parrots feather). Perhaps a veggie filter (Pond 2 is jsut a step in the
right direction! Ponders always think 'more').

The green is certainly to be expected in the cycle. A UV would cut the
green as well. We did that as we got under way. Sufficient growing plants
would help you a lot, tho.

Jim

hey everyone...ive been having some problems with my pond which is about 3
months old now. I can only view through the water to about 6 inches or so.
from there on its murky green. Theres small pieces of what appear to be
algea floating throughout most of the pond. I have some shade coverage,
not
sure if its enough though. View my site for details. I heard that a UV
clarifier can help me...but i would like to know of other ways to clean up
my pond. I have a 13x13 and about 2 feet deep pond.. a nice water fall
which has a filter right before it. There are 4 large goldfish, 1 koi, 2
bass and 2 sunnies. I wanted to keep the number of fish low at first to
keep
the amount of waste down. Here are the pictures of my pond. i hope i can
get
some help on this. thanx!
