Real quick:
I got green algae in my pond last year. Tried chemicals, etc. Long story short, i gave up until this spring. I got a UVC and split my incoming line from my pump to my filter with it...like a bypass around a city. I figure that the UVC will get about 35-40% of the flow that way (it's NOT the path of least resistance).
Anyway, while im waiting for the UVC to do it's thing, should I try to remove all the sludge, or should I wait till the water is clear so I can see what I'm doing? I dropped the water level to about 1/3 of it's normal 2k gallons and it looks like pea soup! lol
I want to buy an aerator for it, gonna post now in classifieds...
