waterfall...
recently the pond has turned an ugly brownish green
color...is this an algea
bloom?.. filter problems?.. need more plants? or something
i just havta be
patient with? let me know. thanx

A lot of times ponds will settle out on their own,
if you're patient. If it doesn't clear in another
month or so, ask again, but provide more
information to diagnose the problem, like water
test results, typical amount of sun/shade, fish
load (if any) - anything that might affect the
balance in the pond, including where you live!

There are a bunch of online pond resources. A
few I have bookmarked follow. The first, Robyn's
site, I recommend. I even bought her book. The
others look fine but I haven't spent as much time
exploring them.
