Blanketweed ongoing issues-help!

[PAULYNORF]

Good afternoon to all,
Had my Blagdon stand up pond a couple of years now and have 8 goldfish. The pond is in full sun most of the day.
I have an issue with what looks like blanketweed. I’ve tried numerous ‘cures’ to get rid of it including the latest Tap- No More Blanketweed. It’s not worked!
Does anyone have a suggestion as to something I can do or buy to rid the pond of most of it? It’s relentless and weekly I’m pulling out a lot.
I have attached a couple of pics so you can see if it is indeed Blanketweed.
Any help much appreciated.
Paul

Adding plants can help with that, as will adding some shade. This algae is due to excess nutrients in the water and plants will naturally compete with the algae.

You need some shade. Can you put up a shade sail or 2?

Maybe the best way to deal with this is to pull it out. I use a toilet brush taped to a bamboo tomato stake for that job, wrapping the algae around the brush. In places where the algae isn't that long, I can just scrub it off with the brush.

How many fish are in the pond? Are they being overfed? A lot of fish and generous amounts of food will create too many nutrients and that feeds the algae.
