Message: [QUOTE="Koilady, post: 89414, member: 3035"] Hi Mike. Excess suspended algae so that you are not able to see your fish or very long hair algae, means that your pond is not in balance. If you have hair algae I suspect that your pond is nice and clear and your fish should do okay because the algae is removing excess toxins from the water. Many people think that if they have hair algae or suspended algae that their ponds are not healthy but I have seen more fish die in clear water due to a false sense of security in that if the water is clear the pond must be healthy. If you have algae that you want to get rid of, make yourself a bio-filter that is easily made and maintained and made not only for the size of the pond but for the amount and size of your fish. I think I have a diagram on this site of the filter that we have been using for about 25 years. Best we've ever used. Your's Koily, Lorraine [/QUOTE]
