Hi! We just purchased and moved into our first home, and it came with a
pond. We have 2 big Koi and several smaller goldfish. About a week
after being here, our water became very green and we can't see the fish
So, can someone refer me to a good, affordable UV light for our pond? I
can answer any add'l info you need maybe, we don't know a lot about this
pond!
