Pond in the Shade
if what you want is a koi pond, that would be fine even with a veggie filter. you
will actually have less algae problems. Ingrid

I want a pond badly but the only spot I have gets about 3-4 hours of
sun per day and there is a large maple tree which will cover most of
the pond area. I know that falling debris (I'm prepared to net the
pond during the appropriate seasons) from trees and the limited
aquatic plant selection will be a problem but are there any other
problems that may arise with a pond in the shade? Will fish/koi be
happy? Algae problems? Any real important plants that are needed which
won't live in such conditions?
Does anyone have a pond in a shaded area?
Is this a pipe dream or a possibility?
Thanks Phil
