Keep Carol from usingf the pond as a swimming hole and you would not
have those problems of green water and excessive mulm buildup.

x-Thanks again. This year (we just cleaned and refilled the 2000g pond) we
x-dropped the pump to the bottom in hopes it picks up more mulm. There should
x-also be better circulation. Having less koi in there should also help. It
x-was getting to where the Tetra filter and settling tank-plant filter weren't
x-adequate anymore. Right now we have 12 young adult 12 to 18" koi in this
x-pond and no goldfish.
