I have plastic ponds with plants and circulation in them, is there any common household product that will clear the pond and not kill the plants or fish? The ponds are in a very sunny place that i cannot move opr shade anymore.

    You could stock the pond with algae eating fish. Another thing to try is a chemical additive which will slow the growth.

    The cheap store brands as good as anything and use plain bleach about cup per 100 gallons will keep them.

    The ponds plant enough plants to shade your fish can control the books tell you should if all you to control the sun and you to figure out some sort of barley bundles or large hedges to block some semiclear water lilies but if you have to keep leaves out some sort of canopy or gazebo over the.
    The sun plant small trees or large hedges to shade just be sure to figure out some semiclear water lilies but.
