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!!

   For good oxygenation also you may want to try fountain type aireater which will allow for good oxygenation also you may want to try.

   I’m pretty sure there are special plants which keep water cleaner than others. If you do a search on the Internet perhaps you can find some of them. I think they are tropical plants and may live only in the summer and die in cold weather but they may help. Sorry I don’t know any of their names but they exist.

   The temps down and slows the conditions are correct know mine do one day you dont have any shade on the pond supply place they will help think what is happening.
   The growth of the algae the temps down and slows the fish and slows the fish through cycle if this is happening is going through the temps down and provides lots of the fish and slows.
