how many gallons and what are the dimensions of the pond, how deep is the pond
how old is the pond
how many fish and how big
how often do you feed and how much at a time
how big is the pump and filter
is there a thick layer of goo on the bottom of the pond, when was it last cleaned,
was it ever clear

usually green water results from too many nutrients and not enough water or
filtration. new ponds start pea soup and clear up, that is when people put in fish.

ponds that are crystal clear either dont have fish or have very expensive filtration
systems. I can see the bottom of my 4' deep pond once my veggie filter is up and
running, with a UV filter running. http://weloveteaching.com/mypond/mypond.htm
I have 26 koi in 1600 gallons. Ingrid

I have a big pond, in cement... the green algee it's a big problem. Just
don't know what else I can do to get rid of it!
I have a good filter with UV, but not enough. I have planted it and all,
but still not enough. I have even covered the pond with a net, so it
wouldn't get so much sun... it didn't work!
Sometimes I see pictures of ponds that are cristal clear.
The only thing I don't have it's rocks at the bottom of the pond!

Help?
