I am skeptical on if just snails and mussels will clear your water. Let us know how it goes and you must provide photo'sI have now bought 12 swan mussels for my pond, by all accounts they and the 30 odd snails should clear my pond in a couple of weeks with luck
Along with the floating plants, I should have no more problem
Anyone interested I’ll let them know
I have a pond, 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, 4 feet deep
It has a waterfall with sponge filters in it, fed by a pump, no fish, no plants yet
The water has gone green like pea soup
The pond is sterile, even the snails died, there are no frogs, newts, just a lot of bugs that I think are shrimp something like them
I have put in barley straw bundles in the hope they will clear this green water
I have been told to try this Walsted method
I’ve never heard of it
My pond was filled over a month ago now, probably longer
All I want is a clear pond to put fish in it
I am open to all suggestions
I haven’t put a net over it yet, no fish in there for the herons, but he does hang around
