Fish pond question2007-11-24 23:09:37

Is there a way to remove the green algae from the bottom of an out door fish pond without taking the fish out and emptying the pond. a product that will disolve the algae? for instance. Or some sort of pump that won't clog while cleaning the pond?

Answers:

Inquire with merchants before adding any chemicals.

I would prefer a natural method.

In my aquariums, the fish eat the algae, thereby requiring very little pellet food.

Perhaps there are certain fish for outdoor ponds which can do the same.

You are always better off with a natural remedy.

I'm not sure of the name of the product, but my friend has an outdoor fish pond and about once a week she sprinkles it in the pond. Call a pet store and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you. Sorry, I can't recall the name but it's something she sprinkles in the pond.

maybe look into this:

It is a natural, additive to ponds that does not kill fish, good plants, or other aquatic creatures. You will see an improvement in the amount of green and brown algae, hair algae and others. It says that it improves nitrogen qualities in the pond water too.

man up and get in and give it a little elbow grease

try using algaefix by pondcare. i had a similar problem with hair algea and the green stuff on the bottom of my pond. this worked well. and if you use as directed it wont hurt most of your plants. that was my main consern with my pond. i have more money in my plants than anything else! it did kill my duck weed but people just just give thats stuff away. good luck!
