Hello... 1st post to forum.
We bought a new house this past fall and it has a beautiful pond feature in the backyard... which we really enjoy. One thing that we cannot seem to correct is the pond has heavy amounts of algae and vegetation growth which we're trying to clean up.
The filtration system that is in the pond is the Tetra BP 2500.
In doing some online research I've realized this same filter comes with a UV system.
So questions...
1) Is the UV system effective in combating algae growth?
2) Do you know if you can buy the UV parts separately and turn the BP2500 into a BP2500-UV???
3) Where do people recommend this be purchased online?
4) Has anyone done this? Suggestions or feedback if you had to do it all over again?
We're also using some algae treatment etc but I really want to get this pond to the point where you can see the bottom and the fish that are in it.
Thanks in advance!!!
