Green Pond Water: The Way Nature Is

When you look down into your pond and see green pond water, chances are, you get a pretty bad look on your face. No one wants to see green water, especially after they have spent so long working on it. What you are dealing with is pong algae. Believe it or not, this is pretty simple to control. If you have KOI, then you will need to have a good filtration system, which will help control that algae. If you have goldfish and you feed them, then you will need to have filtration, but you will be able to control algae. However, if you do not feed those goldfish and you balance your bond, you will find that algae does not grow so much.

Do you know what happens when the sun hits the water? Algae will start to grow. This is how nature works. In order to get past that cycle, there are some things you can do in order to keep it clean and healthy looking.

It is important that you ecologically balance your pond. Use bog plants, such as umbrella plants or irises. You will need to have oxygenators or some submerged plants. The best would be to have cabomba followed by anacharis and dhornwort. For every square foot of pond surface, you should have one batch of the plants submerged. You can purchase the plants with rubber bands that hold them together.

Before you place your plants in the pond, you will need to take the rubber band off. If you do not want the plants freely floating around, then you could put them in pots that sit on the bottom of the pond. The plants that are under the water will be fertilized by the fish waste. The fist will eat the submerged plants, but that is fine, because they grow faster than they can eat them.

We believe this is a pretty good cycle as nature will be caring for itself. Take note that if you have too many fish, they may eat all of the submerged plants. This is great for those individuals that do not feed their fish.

When it comes to algae slime on the sides of the pond, you may not believe it, but this is actually a good thing. Do you know what this means? This means that you have a healthy pond. If you feed your fish, then the simple methods of keeping the pond clear is not going to work. You are going to need a filter.

You should cover half of the top part of the pond with plants that float. This includes plants such as Parrots feather, water hyacinths, water lilies and water lettuce. If you live in the tropical area, then you may want to have some tropical water lilies. However, you will either need to sacrifice them during the winter or store them in warm weather until spring comes back around.

If one day you look down and see green pond water, that does not mean that it is always going to be like that. It just needs a helping hand.
