How to get rid of green water?

Algae in the form of "Green Water" commonly occurs in ponds. The algae itself is not a problem but it looks unsightly and hides your fish.

Fortunately there are a number of things you can do to rid yourself of green water. Algae requires nutrients and sunlight to thrive - so therefore the goal of the pond keeper is deny algae these ingredients.

• Shade as much of the water as possible with lilies and other aquatic plants. Algae requires sunlight - so floating plants prevent sunlight from feeding the algae.
• All aquatic plants absorb nutrients from the water that would otherwise be used for algae.
• Feed your plants only as directed. Fertilizer tablets can be inserted into the soil - so the fertilizer is absorbed by the plant roots with very little released into the water for algae to consume.
• Aqua-Zyme
• AquaRem
• A guaranteed way to keep water clear is the addition of a UV Clarifier.  Exposure to the correct wavelengths of UV light kill the DNA in algae. Once it dies and clumps together, the external filter can filter it out. This has become a very popular and effective way dealing with green water.
