Mikey I really like your pond. It's huge...  what are the dimensions? O0 I had green water for over a year and finally a few weeks ago it started to clear  ;D

Billy: If I recall correctly the pond is roughly 20X10.  I have multiple projects going on this year and the pond was not one of them....  I lost some water lilies to turtles last year and I didn't get around to re-potting the remaining lilies until about two weeks ago.  I'm hoping they soon will take off and give me more coverage.  Another problem is that I doubled my fish load a month back when a neighbor gave me some 15-20 goldfish.  Kermit dropped by last week and he said he liked the color.....

Well, you know Mikey, in the pictures, you can't see any green - just blue sky reflected in the water.  So I say it looks WONDERFUL!   :)

Mikey,
I am sure many of us including myself have had water exactly that green or greener. You having been a ponder for some time know the answer for correcting it. More plant coverage. The rest of the pond looks wonderful.  I know it will not be long before your water will be as clear as it has been in the past. :)

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

But it's a nice 'clean green'. None of that ugly, clumping algae / blanket weed stuff.

Cheers,

Mike

OK, I'll put up a pic    :o she just don't want to clear up this year.  Looks better now than it did a couple weeks ago.  Oh well, the other ponds are clear.

The one shot is with sun directly hitting it.  I can still see the fish, if they come up.  After about 6 inches down, forget it... lol
