How to get rid of green water?
Algae in the form of "Green Water" commonly occurs in ponds. The
algae itself is not a problem but it looks unsightly and hides your
fish.
Fortunately there are a number of things you can do to rid
yourself of green water. Algae requires nutrients and sunlight to
thrive - so therefore the goal of the pond keeper is deny algae
these ingredients. |
|
- Shade as much of the water as possible with lilies and other
aquatic plants. Algae requires sunlight - so floating plants prevent
sunlight from feeding the algae.
- All aquatic plants absorb nutrients from the water that would
otherwise be used for algae.
- Feed your plants only as directed. Fertilizer tablets can be
inserted into the soil - so the fertilizer is absorbed by the plant
roots with very little released into the water for algae to consume.
- Aqua-Zyme
- AquaRem
- A guaranteed way to keep water clear is the addition of a UV
Clarifier. Exposure to the correct wavelengths of UV light kill
the DNA in algae. Once it dies and clumps together, the external
filter can filter it out. This has become a very popular and effective
way dealing with green water.
