Ugly, stringy Stuff growing in the
Pond NOW?
That
"stuff" is called by many
names:
String Algae
Hair Algae
Blanket Weed...etc...
This
time of year (winter) it can grow
at amazing speed!
The
cause is a low concentration of beneficial
bacteria due to the low water temperatures
and simultaneous over-abundance of
nutrients (sludge in the bottom of
the pond, decaying leaves and other
organic matter).
This
algae growth can take vital oxygen
away from the fish, especially if
the pond gets covered by ice and snow.
There
are rememdies available that work
even in colder temperatures:
"Aqua
One" beneficial bacteria is not
temperature sensitive and will help
get rid of excess nutrients in the
water
"PondMarket
Restor" will clean off the stuff
coating the rocks in the pond
"Pond
Balance" will disolve the long
strings growing so profusely!
All
of these helpful products can be found
here: Pond

Fun (Pond) Fact
The
growth hormone produced in a Koi's
body is partially controlled by the
amount of sunlight he is exposed to.
The amount of growth hormone produced
directly influences the size and body
shape of the Koi.
