LOL! So glad your pond is clearing up for you! The turtle was a shock! We caught him and relocated him in an aquaduct about a mile away. Here is a picture of him :)

For those of you that have had green water. Are you amazed when you see a fish that you haven't seen in years? I have some koi/goldfish hybrids that I just saw today and now that they are 3 or 4 years old I notice that their coloring is changing. One has visible large scales on the side almost like plates. I remember one of his parents, taken by a Heron, that had a similar pattern on his side. Another looks almost calico in design. I've had salt water fish and it was customary for them to change color when they went from juvi's to adults. I was surprised to see it with my hybrids.

So glad your pond is clearing up, Alvarero! It is great to finally be able to see what is in the pond. Now I'm thinking the bottom of my pond needs some interior decorating! :) I've been looking at some resin statues but can't find anything that is just right yet.....

Once the sun comes up I'll take some more pics. Even my wife and kids said yesterday, "Hey, we can see the fish!"

Sorry it took so long. Slow internet connection. I could see the fish no problem, it was my camera that had a mind of its own.

Waterbug. The lily container turned green this week. I can see the leaves, the blooms are kicking in and the overall growth is better than before. I don't remember if I shared that I put almost half a package of MG in the pond last weekend. I think the lilies appreciate it because the new leaves are coming in pretty fast. More to come.

Major difference in clarity Alvarero. You've come along way and it might even get clearer in time. Great job!
