String Algae in Skippy Filter
Is it normal for a Skippy Filter to develop a case of string algae?
Will cat litter sprinkled on top kill the algae? Should I just leave it alone since it isn't getting into my pond? |

Put a lid on it, and you'll have no more algae, other wise, yes this is normal with any filter that light can get to. You could sort of consider it a veggie filter.... but it could also clog and channel your water flow. ~ jan (Do you know where your water quality is?) |

The drain is a 2" pipe. I glance at the pond quite frequently throughout the day, so if that drain does get clogged, I will notice it quickly. :) |

Oh well, in that case, it is part of the veggies in the veggie filter. :o)
