Oh oh, you do have a problem.

Bonnie, what type of filter are you running? That water should be clear this time of year. How big is the pond and how many fish?

I use a vegetable filter with my big koi. But no plants in the pond only in the filter. My water stays crystal clear with 17 inch koi. No light. Works for me.

I was thinking of getting a UV also, but have not researched it, I like the idea of a veggie filter....not sure how to build one, maybe I'll have to research that also.

I used a veggie filter this year too, I did have clear water for about 2 1/2 weeks then it turned green for the rest of the Summer. I did water changes too . OOH well , my other ponds are green too tho the lily pond
isn't too bad.

My pond in South Florida seemed to come around like magic. I went through many problems, 1 of which was green water. I feel I acheived a balance of shade plants and filter that worked. I have however seen ponds on this site in full sun. They looked clear. I wish I could answer you question because mine might be answered too. Good luck and let me know what you come up with.
