The Algae is doing fine. Two Water Lilies in bloom today (I only have
two), one pink and one white. I really have to divide these things next
year. The Water Hyacinths are turning brown at the water line and dying off.
I added four Water Lettuce yesterday and the "Ron ring" today, although
there is currently no danger of the plants crowding out the feeding areas. I
added the usual Iron/Potassium/Magnesium supplements again today. I also
added 5 PPM of Nitrates for the first time to jump start the WH. I expect
the Algae to take off in the short term, but I really have to get the
surface covered to starve the Algae of light. I suspect the Algae is
starving the WH of nutrients (roots covered in Algae).
