lol CanadianCowboy, i thought i was the only one that did that. 3 years
ago my first pond (4x2x1) was green all the time. it was a cheap all in
one kit from home depot. man did it suck. i had nothing living in it
except stuff i didn't want. i would put a chlorine puck from my pool in
every month and it was always crystal clear.

my second pond had fish and water lilies. barley, pond plants and a uv
sterlizer kept the 6x4x3 pond clear.

now i've made it bigger again and it's up to 12x9x3. it'll probably get
bigger and better next year.
