To control algae in ponds, is to know the cycle. Usually (but depends on
fish load) ponds will be green the first year, have string algae the 2nd,
by the 3rd they are balanced and get less string algae and so on as they
mature. This depends on fish load, chemicals added, UV, etc. a case of
YMMV. My success has been to keep the fish load down, plant load high and
have a large filter. I don't not use UV. ~ jan

OMG. I feel like I just contacted the psychic hotline. Last year, I
had green water and then only fuzz. This year, it's string algae. Got
any stock tips you'd like to share? ;-)

If only, I'd have my koi house in no time. 1985 buy microsoft? A bit
late.... 1995 buy Starbucks? ;-) Who is the next big "thing"? ~ jan
