I finally gave up and ordered an UV clarifier. The pond will be covered
with an arbor someday but for now it gets too much sun. The algae bloom
has been heavy for 5 weeks plus.
The very day the UV arrived the algae was gone. Crystal clear to the 3'
bottom. I installed it anyway. The algae gods are such smart alecks.
They must be more like algae pixies rather than gods.

======================
We recently refilled our 2000 gallon pond (after repairs). It turned GREEN
before we even replaced any fish. Within 24 hours of replacing the fish it
was so green we couldn't see them until they came up to be fed. Then - in
just 2 days it turned clear as glass - go figure! We have UV lights but
haven't used/needed them in a few years.
