NooB's lament
I could sure use something that eats algae about now. My pond is staying green so far. It went from totally opaque to about 8-10 inches visibility and seems to be holding there for the last couple of weeks. Done a couple of 25-30% water changes, no help a-tall. I'm hoping the water hyacinth gets busy and helps. The fish appeared to be eating the roots, so I started feeding them a bit more a couple of days ago. Also got some watercress starting to take off in the waterfall, but I know it won't be a big help. Looks nice though. Softens up the looks of the rocks. Trying to figure out how I could retrofit a veggie filter. Fighting the urge to buy a UV sterilizer. On the upside I have a couple of lilies that are close to reaching the surface, and the fish seem pretty chipper. With all my web research, reading this group for about 3 years & such, I still feel like The Compleat NooB. Oy. Even worse, I'm outta beer. Used the last of it planting the hyacinth. Wonder if I can use Tequila for planting? Well, OK, actually, a Margarita was what I had in mind. Maybe I can use some of the salt in the pond. Maybe lime juice is the magic cure-all for algae. :-) Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me. |
