Hi All
New to the forums
and sorry in advance if this is a repost.
Recently had a pond put in the backgarden (6+ weeks ago)
We have a filter that was giving to us by a family member, and the water was clear as crystal for the first 3 to 4 weeks, after putting some fish in the pond, it took less than 5 days for a massive growth of algae to appear and you could not see the bottom of the pond, emptied the pond and started again, the filter spounge was washed and replaced back into the filter box, 7 days later i the pond water was clear as crystal last night looked again less than a hour ago and the water has gone brown and brown+green algae has growing in huge quantites overnight on the waterfall feature leading from the filter
any ideas what the heck is going on with the pond because i am baffled :sun_smiley:
thanks in advance
