Message: [QUOTE="CountryEscape, post: 126041, member: 3087"] MT, would love to see pics of your new plants! Also, during the afternoon, when it's really hot, the algae from the bottom which is more spongey looking, floats to the top, and gets into the skimmer. I could net it all out, but feel like there is some good bacteria growing in it, and maybe think it's supposed to stay there. By morning the algae has settled to the bottom again, until gets really hot again. My goldfish pond has no algae in the bottom yet, so no worries about that. Skimmer stays clear and clean. Koi pond is different story. Could you try using a net to get rid of the algae that is on the bottom? If it's on the sides, and the aerator is breaking it loose, it's because it's dying, so something you are doing is definitely working. String algae won't come loose just from aeration. Good luck!
