The elimination of planktonic algae from my pond and waterfall?
I have a new pond and waterfall without fish. I think that is about 300 gallons. I do not expect to always fish in it. I am in south Florida, with much direct sunlight all day and some nearby plants. Because it's so hot here and the waterfall is running, I have to add water to the pond from all other days. I also planktonic algae green water that turned nasty. I tried Clorox everything and skimming Fountec with daily brushing. Nothing kills the algae or my water returns to its original clarity. I have read in the straw of barley, Microbe Lift, and many other products, but I'm totally confused. Any help is appreciated!

The biggest problem is the sunlight as you say, even the hot Florida here in Oz. To do this recall, a plant that some around the site with lush tropical plants, ferns and later, closer to the water's edge (fog / jet fall will create a suitable microclimate). Also being in the sun, you need to cover the surface with a minimum of one third with plants and oxygen plants. If you look at the nature of the clear streams and pools are shaded. Just straw is a great product takes about 2 weeks to start working hard and Combat 6 months. Feel free 2 e-mail with any q
