Red algae

This is

I have a simple pond 6'x20' created by a liner - no plants. The pond is
about 6 years old. I have always had algae problems which made the water
cloudy ,but have lived with the condition only dying the water black to make
it more palatable.

I had to clean out my pond this spring - a leak in the liner. Now, the water
is clear but there is a red algae floating on the surface. Sometimes there
are small bubbles.

There are about 20 goldfish. The fish seem to enjoy the cleaner water - they
are much more lively than past years. But I worry about the "red tide."

Is there anything to do?

The following article is about aquariums but
it has some hints that could help you pinpoint
the source of your problem.

We used copper sulfate to control normal green algae in our pond and it
didn't harm the fish. The Illinois Dept. of Wildlife and Conservation?
Fish and Wildlife? had some free publications that were useful to us.

Water changes are pretty simple, adding 50% or more floating plants,
like Hyacinth etc will also curb the algae.

You spray ornamental ponds containing valued fish with Clorox?

This is from the PDF above. Sorry but I can't understand a word of it.
