Sammyjay asked:

I have a decent size pond. I have tried everything to keep the water clear, but still goes a murky green. All the inner walls have a green “fur” on it. It has been cleaned, painted with the correct paint, has a good pump, uv light, the pond plants have been potted in the correct pond soil. Am at a total loss as what else I can do!!

Big Burban asked:

I have a Tetra pond 2500 pump( above ground and a submersible part) it was running fine all spring and summer until today, it acts as if there is no power going to it, although there are no GFIs tripped and there is power at the outlet. Is there a sensor or somthing that would cause this? Or possibly a way to reset the pump? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

At my cottage we have muddy ponds all over the place – I guess due to higher water levels after the snow melt?

LaLa&RuRu asked:

Is there anything we can do to dry out these muddy ponds? They are muddy ugly and full of mosquitos. Is there anything we can do to the actual ground to stop this from happening each year? If any experts or someone who has been through this with their property can help me out that would be great!!

Thanks!

Thanks
They are very small ponds. No species live in there but mosquitos!
