My Job promotion and new baby has really occupied my time. But be rest
assured I have not ignored my pond. All Koi are fine and doing great. No
problems whatsoever (Probably just jinxed myself now)

My family and I are doing well too.

Has BV been behaving himself? How is the shareholder's pond doing?

Later all.

Very quiet, isn't it time for someone's pond
to turn green?

Mine might be, but I can't tell under the ice and snow.

Yeah, mine has already, plus last week it got a new load of silt
washed into it. It's quite ugly at the moment.

When spring rolls around I have to do some digging to change the
runoff water flow. Oh joy!

My pond went green about 2 weeks ago and the temp was up to 44 degrees
but I am back down now to 39 deg. due to a cold snap. I imagine that
will slow down the algae growth.

Mine is not green, but I have an oak tree leaf bloom that is out of control.

I have green! :-( :-( For most of the winter here in Colorado Springs,
my pond and been crystal clear. :-) :-) Then sometimes last week, early
last week I think, I noticed I could not see the fish as clearly. Upon
a close inspection, sure enough, the water has a greenish hue to it and
is has gotten progressively greener as the week has progress. I guess
it is because all the ice has melted. Water is still very cold, 42F but
not so cold that the algae will not grow. :-( I guess I will have to
just wait it out for now.

To be on the safe side, check your water parameters, if all fine, do a
20-25% water change on nice days. If you haven't been doing them all
winter, do them every 5th day if the weather is good. You probably have a
lot of nutrients in there from the fish. The fresh water will dilute it,
but don't do more than 25% (preferably 20%) or you'll upset the balance.

AH... good idea! This is the first time, Jan, I have not had ice on the
pond and when it was there, it was usually 2-5 inches thick. So, I have
not done any water changes at all this winter! That is probably a good
idea. Today looks like a nice day. Mid 40's maybe. I will need to rig
up one of the pumps, return it to the pond to get started. Thanks for
the tip!
Have a happy Monday!

Hey BV,
Thanks for the warm welcome back. I was beginning to feel that no one
remembered me, especially when my thread suddenly went off and became about
green water.
Take care.

Sorry, Just Me, that was me, when someone
mentioned it had been quiet, I got nostalgic
for green water questions. All ponders seem
to get a little strange in winter...
How is the new baby, or since the baby has
been around a while, how are *you* doing, babies
I think do just fine, it's the parents that get all
the wear and tear ;-)
