Message: [QUOTE="pugle1, post: 171422, member: 4195"] Welcome Jordan, I have a very good friend in Paisley. :) Green water ... excess nutrients ... uneaten fish food, fish waste, yard run-off (re: fertilizer). Those are the biggest contributors to big algae growth. Get a good liquid test kit ( not strips ) and honestly, I'm a 3 year pond noob that took a lot of advice and suggestions from the good people here. You're in a good place with these folks :). Seek out a member called "Waterbug". He's very up on understanding algae. As others have said, a good in-line UV light should help you a lot, then it's just a matter of getting rid of excess nutrients. So hello to you from Canada, and good luck :) Paul [/QUOTE]
