Default Algae bloom from hell...

Well as I mentioned, the filter blew a hole in the bottom last week.. it's
been storming here on and off for a week and a half now, so there's been a
massive natural water change.

Today I saw the fish all doing that "gasping for air" thing early in the
morning.. once the sun came out and warmed things up, they went under, but
I'd say about 1/4 of the pond is covered by bright green algae now.

I turned on the winter bubbler to at least add additional aeration, and
bypassed the main filter so the uv filter can at least slow things down.
