Brown furry Algae on the bottom of my pond
We moved in to a new house about a year ago and I have been trying to
rehab the koi pond after years of neglect. So far so good. We have a nice assortment of plants that are thriving and after trying out some tester fish I have some Koi that are getting bigger. I have a small stringy algae problem but I am taking care of that. I have been using Laguna Phosphate Control, Algaefix and some other stuff that adds 'bio-mass' (I can't remember the name but it is a dry flake that looks like bran and you mix it with pond water before pouring it in) The pond only has a pump and no filter. The water is clear but the bottom liner and pump is starting to get covered with a brown furry algae. The fish don't mind and seem to like to eat it. I don't mind as long as it stays at it's current level. Any idea if I can control this with chemicals or something. Is this from the bio-mass stuff? Sorry to be so vague but I am new to all this pond care. I really enjoy having the pond around and the kid love it ( and the frogs and the snakes). I don't want to spend the money on a filter right now so I hope there is some other way to take care of this. Maybe it is OK to leave it but I don't know. Thanks for any info, A.S. |
