I have a simple pond 6'x20' created by a liner - no plants. The pond
is about 6 years old. I have always had algae problems which made the
water cloudy ,but have lived with the condition only dying the water
black to make it more palatable.

I had to clean out my pond this spring - a leak in the liner. Now, the
water is clear but there is a red algae floating on the surface.
Sometimes there are small bubbles.

There are about 20 goldfish. The fish seem to enjoy the cleaner water -
they are much more lively than past years. But I worry about the "red
tide."

Is there anything to do?

We used copper sulfate to control normal green algae in our pond and it
didn't harm the fish. The Illinois Dept. of Wildlife and Conservation?
Fish and Wildlife? had some free publications that were useful to us.
