I have a 6 year old pond that had been running great for years. A month or 2 ago I started losing fish, first some older gold fish and then some Koi. I treated for all the normal things and it got better for a few weeks then I lost the last few fish about 1 every week or two. I have no idea what did them in but I desided to take this time to do a major cleaning and install some bottom drains in my pond. I noticed that after draining the large section of pond (about 600 gal) that when I unfolded the liner overlap in the corners that there was a white slime hidden in the folds. Can anyone tell me what this is? Is it normal, good, bad...
I know if I completely scrub the liner it will take quite a while to build up the good bacteria again so I don't want to do a harsh scrubbing on the normal green areas but I'm wondering about the white stuff. I can't find anything online with pics to help explain what this is so I'm hoping someone here can help.
Thanks for any help,
Delorian
