Hi, everyone.
ive just recently finished my pond (well almost, plants to go in next)
The fish i have are mirror and common carp and a couple of comets and its filtered through an Oase filtoclear 11000 .
problem is the waterfall/shoot is creating foam on the surface.
wilst not a major problem, it does look a bit of a mess.any ideas how to cure it? please.
ph and nitrite are all ok.

Overfeeding and excess waste can lead to surface froth.

I had a similar problem. Mine was linked to our 3 year old dumping her bubbles into the pond. Our skimmer cleared it up.
