Green Water & Algae


Green water in the pond is a common complaint of the water gardener. New pond owners are usually excited about their ponds and fish. They marvel at how fun and easy it was to get started and how much they enjoy their pond. Their excitement and enthusiasm often turn to frustration when their crystal- clear pond turns into a green, murky bowl of pea soup.

Achieving an ecological balance in the pond can seem difficult, but once basic biological principles are understood, it can become relatively simple.
