If you had read this thread, I referenced the other threads and specially
am not using clumping no scented kitty litter. You can search and find the
specific one I used.

Hi Gerry, I am glad you have found the generic kitty litter to work
for you and your persistent algal problem. It doesnt for everyone,
but the right kind of k litter, which you seem to be lucky enough to
have in your local area, is indeed how many individuals start using
clay in their ponds. When (if) they see the benefits they want to
move on to even better quality clay so as to not have all those little
residual hard bits on the bottom of their ponds that the wrong
inexpensive litter can leave behind. Not only will they eventually
have to clean it out (ick), but they sure wouldnt want to
accidentally punture their liner with any sharp undissolved bits from
using low grade litter when better, safer products are available. At
least this is what the generic stuff in my area is like, and why I
ordered the more pricey stuff. You apparently were luckier than I.

Using clay in ponds is an absolutely wonderful topic, and there is
alot of good information out there about it as you have said. I wish
there were even more. And I have indeed read every word I could find
about it, including yours. I love clay and its various uses, and love
reading and talking about it. Sorry you apparently didnt like my
comments, no offense was intended. Alas, I do like to talk, so I
probably will be back.

In fact I just added some clay yesterday, and today my pond and my
fish are looking absolutely sparkling and lovely. At least my fish
love me, LOL.

Good luck to you and your pond.

uses for decades, and unfortunately knows more about the stuff than
she ever knew existed.)
