I noticed yesterday that the pond is starting to get green "fuzzy" algae all
over everything. The liner, rocks, the pebbles on the plant ledge you name it. I have plants and a mechanical filter as well. Should I get more plants or a UV filter as well? Is this "good" algae or the start of the bad algae? I don't think the 4 little goldfish I have are the root of the problem. I feel I have enough plants but the more the merrier. I firmly believe the root of the problem is too much sunlight. The pond gets sunlight ALL day, I have water cover both live & artificial. I guess not enough. All help is greatly appreciated in advance people. Oh before I forget. With a veggie filter do the plants get buried in the soil mix on top of the pebble base in baskets? I can make a "stream" and then have a bunch of plants at the edge of the one end just before it falls into the pond. And if so is a slower water flow better for a veggie filter? -- The~Doofie~Man © "LET ME SEE YOUR CIGARETTE LIGHTERS!!!!!"
