Look for a product on the internet, or at your local pond supplier, called
for a product called "Green Water Clarifier". It is a coagulant that clumps
the particles together for easy removal by your filter. It safe for the fish
when used as directed.

No ponding for a while.. our kitty of 15 years passed on overnight,
and
we
are just down.

So sorry to hear that! My mother lost her 9 y.o. cat suddenly and
unexpectedly last week. Made me think how I'll deal with losing any one
of my four.

Thaks, Susan. Pretty sad days here. We are keeping busy to keep our minds
off things. We had a 10x16 shed delivered yesterday, and we started
installing a 12x32 foot deck today.

Another good cambatant for green water is plant cover. My pond has
about a 65-70% coverage. My mother-in-law complains that it's hard to
see the fish but I disagree. Just bring out some food and they're
there! *grin* I've also not had any visits so far (knock on wood) from
any of the herons in and around our area. I imagine they don't see much
use to stopping at a place where they can not see any dinner.

Haven't seen our fish for weeks now. The green has turned to brown, and
that's a good sign (we have our own "black lagoon" now! LOL!)

I fished out the WH that didn't make it, but it seems about 1/2 survived,
and are thriving.

Good news, at least.
