All I did was make the waterfall a little more agitating to improve oxygen
and I added a tone of oxygenating plants today.
All surface types like parrot feather (I have 4 on the bottom in planters)
And one other kind. Then I bought 4 bunches of hollywart or something named
to that ...I forget!!!
I then cleaned the mechanical filter out as well.
So that fuzzy stuff is good algae eh...sweet I'm doing something right.
I tool pics as well, should have them up by the end of the week.
Thanks for all in input!!

I noticed yesterday that the pond is starting to get green "fuzzy" algae
all
over everything. The liner, rocks, the pebbles on the plant ledge you name
it. I have plants and a mechanical filter as well. Should I get more
plants
or a UV filter as well?
Is this "good" algae or the start of the bad algae?
I don't think the 4 little goldfish I have are the root of the problem. I
feel I have enough plants but the more the merrier. I firmly believe the
root of the problem is too much sunlight. The pond gets sunlight ALL day,
I
have water cover both live & artificial. I guess not enough.
All help is greatly appreciated in advance people.

Oh before I forget. With a veggie filter do the plants get buried in the
soil mix on top of the pebble base in baskets? I can make a "stream" and
then have a bunch of plants at the edge of the one end just before it
falls
into the pond. And if so is a slower water flow better for a veggie
filter?
