I am at my witt's end these days. The string algae is incredible. It's

I have been a bit neglectful of the pond lately, and yesterday I noticed my
stream is filling with string algae. So far the VF and the main pond are
just fine, crystal gin clear to the bottom. So I am starting to
wonder...maybe SA is not so bad when in the right place?
