almost black water
We just had my mom's pond redone this spring. The liner is totally covered
with rocks. There is a filter and skimmer system with a waterfall. The water was totally clear for about 2 weeks then started to get cloudy. We were using one type of bacteria, but it wasn't helping. We also used a product to get rid of string algae, which is gone now. The water just kept getting darker and murkier. Now we can only see the fish when they come up to feed. So we tried another type of bacteria which was supposed to work within a week. Three weeks later, still no improvement. Now we added barley straw pellets. Still no improvement. What are we doing wrong?? Oh ya, the guy that did the pond said our pump was too small, but he said it was the right size when he did the pond. If it was any bigger we would be blasting the rocks and the fish right out of the pond! TIA Carolyn SW Ontario |
