Hello fine peoples of this wonderful online forum, I am working on the planning for my eagle project, and decided to revamp a pond at my local botanical gardens. The pond in its current state needs quite a bit of help, but the main issue is a massive green water problem. The botanical garden is currently using algaecide ( no wonder they cant keep fish alive ) but we all know there is only one real way to solve a green water problem. Here is the plan: a large ish 10-12 x 8-10 bog with a depth of 14-18 ish inches. The gardens already has an unused skimmer box in place, so I will utilize that to pull water from the pond. I will post photos below.
What a great project! I'm not as up on the technical issues as others, but as it looks like the pond originally had a Japanese garden aesthetic, the one area where I might be able to help is with the aesthetic issues later on, especially when it comes to plant arrangement.
You're going to really make a difference to that poor overgrown pond!
