Red algae
Clorox
Stephen Levine wrote: This is I have a simple pond 6'x20' created by a liner - no plants. The pond is about 6 years old. I have always had algae problems which made the water cloudy ,but have lived with the condition only dying the water black to make it more palatable. I had to clean out my pond this spring - a leak in the liner. Now, the water is clear but there is a red algae floating on the surface. Sometimes there are small bubbles. There are about 20 goldfish. The fish seem to enjoy the cleaner water - they are much more lively than past years. But I worry about the "red tide." Is there anything to do? Stephen11962 |

Stephen11962 We used copper sulfate to control normal green algae in our pond and it didn't harm the fish. The Illinois Dept. of Wildlife and Conservation? Fish and Wildlife? had some free publications that were useful to us. rj |
Water changes are pretty simple, adding 50% or more floating plants,
like Hyacinth etc will also curb the algae. Regards, Tom Barr |
