Veggie Filter, pond, green and brown algae
Hi,
I have taken the plunge and added a veggie filter/biological filter. The setup is like this: a preformed pond (6 ft long 3 ft wide (average) and about 15" deep)) a storage box sitting in the middle of preformed pond - box has water pumped into from my skimmer, into a empty space created by a PVC stand and hardware fence, on top of stand is air conditoner filter material, followed by lava rock, topped of with about 6" of water and water mint/duckweed. a 4 gallon Yellow Iris and a 3 gallon Cardinal flower some hyacinth (which are dying/dead -- by themselves or with the help of our puppy -- water is pumped into the storage box (at a very low flow rate - about 20 gph) which then flows into the rest of the preformed pond which then ends up in the main pond (8ft x 9ft x 30") Ok, given all that -- my problem is... I have green water in the preformed pond and brown water in the main pond. I don't think the main pond is suffering from suspended dirt, as I already tried an additative for that (clear lagoon). The Veggie Filter has been in about 2 weeks. I live in Albuquerque NM.... Hopefully, I have given enough info to help solve this -- thanks in advance for any hints Nasa |
