For those with algae in water falls! Cure!
« on: June 18, 2008, 08:23:03 AM »
 :For those of you who have trouble with algae in waterfalls and streams. These are photos of my stream from 05-31-08 untill 06-18-08. Showing the amount of algae in stream and today after adding water cress and impatients. This is in full sun . When they say plants take care of problem you can definately see the difference.  @O@ Can't prove other plants getting bigger in pond helped but am sure they also did help. Dont know if it will work for you but this solved my problem. Hope you enjoy. :)

I totally agree with MCP!  I had lots of parrot's feather in my pond this year and my little waterfall was clean, clean, clean.  But the fishies probably didn't appreciate all the roots taking up the swim space.  I took out 60% of the plants a month ago.  Now there is a green carpet on the waterfall stones ledge.  >:(
I like the watercress growing on the waterfall.  You've given me a project!
