Default plants dieing?

~ jan JJsPond.us wrote:
My floating plants (lettuce and snowball) seem to be dying on me. I have a
small pond, around 800 gallon with 9 small fish. The greens are turning
brownish around the edges and generally looking unhealthy.

The water quality seems good, and the fish are doing well. I have a
waterfall, bio filter, and a floating wood chip thing (for keeping down
slime levels?)
Thanks for any help,
Tom



Define "wood chip thing" & "slime". If we're talking something that is an
algaecide in the wood chip thing, that could be affecting your other
plants. ~ jan

Jan, I think the wood chip thinkie is most likely barley
straw ;-)
