Cheapest way to clear algae?

[Ata31]

A túltelepítés és a túletetés 1 és 2, akkor a szűrés mechanikai hiánya van főleg és nem utolsósorban nem elég növény. Most újra és újra látjuk, hogy vagy 20 növény van a lápomban. Amikor meglátod a lápi kavicsot, még el sem kezdted. Íme, miről beszélünk, mivel a növények segítenek a tápanyagok felhalmozódásában 1View attachment 163981View attachment 163980View attachment 163983

Nincs túlszaporodva és naponta egyszer etetem.... Tiszta a víz, csak 3 éve van ez a problémám, akkor tettem bele +2 légbefúvót, és ezért gyanítom túl sok levegőt, de lehet tévedtek??

It is not overpopulated and I feed it once a day.... The water is clean, I have only had this problem for 3 years, then I added +2 air diffusers, and that is why I suspect too much air, but maybe they were wrong??

A bog filter won't work on every water feature - it works on an ecosytem, which requires three things: Plants, Water and Fish. If you're missing any one of the three, you have very little chance of establishing an ecosystem that can be balanced with bog filtration.

I beg to differ on that point. I have no fish in the swimming pond, Yet I have Chrystal clear water year 'round.

I don’t know if you’ve looked at my posts from several years back but we bought this house with the pond and a wall fountain that was built in the 1940s. We investigated rehabbing it but it would be prohibitively expensive. There is no electricity at the pond site. We just want clean water and maybe a few plants. That’s it. My question is what is the cheapest, easiest way to get that?

How was there a wall fountain without electric? How was the water pumped to the outlet? If it can be done without electricity, then that's how you need to do it.

I beg to differ the begged to differ, Clear water doesn't mean it's an ecosystem, but it doesn't say it is not either. An eco system is ALL characters present and working with and for each other. now can an eco systemnm be lacking a character or two sure can it's a balance

A ram pump can lift a water flow up to 30' in height but the flow is little more than a garden hose though through money at the parts and theres a good chance you maybe able to increase that " ram pumps are very intense

I am in the middle of rebuilding my pond and it was really green--so green you couldn't see the bottom of the shallow parts! I gave 1 dose of a bacterial algae treatment, got a finer filter, and a bale of barley, and in one week it is clear!

Depending upon the size of the pond, I would simply add fish. If you don’t feed the fish, they will eat the algae. I would have a couple dozen small koi. It will take a few months or more and they will clean up your pond naturally. Don’t add chlorine you’ll kill everything and the algae will come back. Look for hungry little koi clean look for you and enjoy watching the fish grow.

How do we keep algae from coming back?

You can buy hydrogen peroxide from Walmart etc. I believe I put it in 1/2 litre into a 400 gal pond. The fish don't like it, but it won't kill them. It reduces the algae for a while, so maybe I didn't use enough. Do some research on it. My lilies are slowly covering the pond, and that is the best way to control algae. I used a Laguna filter for years and finally got fed up with all the maintenance. Now the pond is " going natural" and seems to be fine. Less bother for me.

Use a net or skimmer.
Barley straw releases substances that inhibit algae growth when decomposed. Place a small bunch of barley straw in a mesh bag and place it in the pond.
install a submersible filter

Mabe frogs can take the place of fish? There are plenty of frogs in the bog.
