Default Green Water



When are you gonna learn, You need to keep Carol Gulley out of your
ponds if yu want yur water to be clean......CArol is such a nasty
inconsiderate bitch, its amazing yur not getting sick and diseased
fish as well as green water..........Only advantage to letting CArol
around yur place is she is one heck of a shit eater, so she is apt to
clean up all that dog and cat shit, that she finds, but then yu have
to contend with her howling at the moon at nite so its a no win
situation with CArol Gulley the shit eating bitch.

Algae fighting tips

~ New ponds and spring ponds need time for plants to get established, algae is
quicker at getting going!
~ add LOTS of plants, of any kind, in the pond. Especially underwater plants.
~ Shade is good - provided by lily pads, floating plants or artificial shade
for part of the day.
~ LOW fish stocking (20 gallons per goldfish, 100 per koi) and not overfeeding
the fish.
~ building a mechanical filter to screen gunk.
~ build a veggie filter, run water through plants, as easy as floating water
hyacinth in your filter.
~ clean up dead plant matter and screen for falling leaves
in the fall.
~ water movement, occasional water changes of 10%
~ add a sludge consumer, concentrated bacteria.
I use A HREF="http://united-tech.com"http://united-tech.com/A
~ building ponds with bottom drains and skimmers.
~ do not use algaecides, they only make lots of suddenly dead algae
and that will feed the next algae bloom.
~ gently remove string algae
~ patience ;-)
