Koi Clay

[WV Kim]

Howdy!

I have read where several ponders write they use koi clay for alge. I am starting to have a hard time with string alge. I want to stop it before it gets worse. I have used peroxide but it is not helping this time.

My ? is, do I need to look for a certain type of koi clay? or a certain brand is better than others?  I don't know anything about it and would like to learn more.

Thanks for the info!!

Calcium bentonite clay or montmorillonite clay, virtually one and the same for koi health, finishing koi color, some say it's better than barley straw but over a longer period of time.  I use the clay for boosting the immune system and color finishing, barley straw or extract for filamentous algae and if any slime coat is compromised, I prefer a .1% or .3% salt solution to promote slime flow even though it is said the clay will help with slim coat.  Now if I had a cheap source for alum in bulk I would try using it as a phosphate sponge to help with algae of all types.  But don't take my word for it......Google any terms you find in a post and then decide.

Do you have a bottom drain? I wouldn't put a bunch of clay in the pond if it didn't have a way to leave as well. Yes I've read koi clay is a panacea that cures ills of all kinds, and Gene is the man to get it from. I tried bentonite clay from a natural food store with no noticeable effect.

Do you have a bunch of plants? Have you recently fertilized them? I've had serious algae blooms after feedings. Fast growing plants out of pots will compete for nutrients. I've found watercress appear to be the best cure, in my pond. Time and warm weather to get the bio really going, seems the algae will never stop growing then suddenly it's not a problem.

Here is a link with an idea of manipulating nutrients to control algae.

I found Ironite to be a bad choice, but straight chelated iron worked well to green up my yellowing plants.
