The algea that gets so much time being talked about. Hair algea it's a result from to much organics in the water table and or not enough plants

I have 2 established koi ponds, neither of which has plants in it except lilies. Feed my koi 1-2 times a week. No algae anywhere. Your fish will clean your pond for you.

I only have string algae in my bog and waterfall. Every so often I remove it with toilet brush and use the algae in my veggie garden
