html Is there a filter for that pond? Which type is it? pA HREF="http://la.znet.com/~seannydinh/"http://la.znet.com/~seannydinh//A pMy lovely green water went away a week after installing a bigger TT filter. pebruvold wrote: blockquote TYPE=CITEOK.... pLive in San Diego. Had a pond installed last September. About a 3 brfoot rise waterfall into a pond of about 800-1000 gallons. Installed brby local contractor. Gave us Koi (6) and some water lillies plus br"Aquascape Designs String Algea Buster (SAB)" and "Aquascape Design brAquaclear" pFollowed all directions rigorously in respect to bacteria, cleaning, bretc. But as you may have heard, southern california had more rain than brwe have had in the last 100 years. So a fair amount of run off into brthe pond and outright rain. Had to pump out water on numerous broccasions and other times simply let it overflow in to landscape. pWith warmer weather planted some more lilles and some marginals. brLillies going well. I have about 10-15% surface area covered and more brpads every day. I do not have any "bottom plants" but strongly brconsidering adding them. pHOWEVER, I have a serious string and single cell (green water) algae brproblem that is driving me to frustration. pBeen spiking (triple the dose every day) my pond with both "clear" brbacteria and SAB. Hand cleaning out every day the string algae that is breasy to get out and actually pulling some off from individual rocks. pBut not sure it is helping! Or at least I can not noticeably see a brdifference. Is my only hope to drain the pond and start over? Should brI have patience with the product I am using? Should I try something brdifferent (there seem to be a huge number of different concoctions out brthere - any objective reviews?)/blockquote /html |
