Clear pond: 100% natural

Floating algae can quickly make your pond water murky, but can be easily controlled with the right oxygen plants. These plants absorb nutrients, giving algae less chance to grow. For effective control of floating algae, you can place loose oxygen plants in your pond. These plants also help regulate CO2 levels in the pond, keeping the water clear and healthy.

Green pond water: how is a green pond created?

A murky pond is out of balance and this can have several causes, including excessive fish stocking, not enough pond plants, warm weather and the presence of waste products. When the self-cleaning ability of the pond water decreases, pollutants accumulate, stimulating the growth of floating algae, this causes the pond to become green and cloudy. Eventually this leads to disturbance of aquatic plants and pond animals such as fish causing their death.

The water of my new pond is green

This is a common phenomenon during the early stages of a new pond. The system is still finding a biological balance and actively fighting floating algae. If the pond is constructed correctly, nature itself will provide balance. A properly designed pond, equipped with various aquatic plants, beneficial bacteria and a solid substrate base, contributes to clear and healthy water in the long run. Remember to add supportive pond bacteria twice a year, during spring and fall, for optimal water quality. In this case, the green pond will see clear again within a few weeks.

How do you get a green water clear again?

To never suffer from a green pond again, it is important to set up the pond correctly and to perform regular pond maintenance. This way you prevent the accumulation of waste products that can turn into algae and keep the water rich in oxygen.

Oxygen Plants

Oxygen plants are essential to a healthy pond environment because they help maintain a clear water environment by absorbing excess nutrients that would otherwise feed algae. In addition, they produce oxygen, which is crucial for fish and other pond inhabitants to survive. In addition, they help maintain the biological balance in the pond and prevent water choking.

pond substrate

In fact, a layer pond substrate in the pond offers a warm welcome to the right pond bacteria, which attach themselves to the stone grains or lava rock. These bacteria have a water purifying effect, keeping the water clear in a completely natural way.

pond bacteria

Keep your pond clear by adding pond bacteria to the pond water twice a year, in spring and fall. pond bacteria provide clear water and better growth of aquatic plants. Excess fish food, feces, rotting leaves and dead algae cause a dirty layer of waste in the form of goo and silt at the bottom of your pond. Bacta Clear contains the right bacteria and enzymes that will "eat" your dirty bottom layer.

Pond water cleaning

Regularly remove leaves, dead plants and other organic material from the pond to prevent it from rotting, sinking to the bottom and forming a layer of silt that creates algae and green pond water.

Pond water turns green after winter

This can indeed occur after the cold winter months, but also if there are some warm days and it has been cold before. The pond awakens from hibernation, plants are still lagging behind but the bright sun makes the water warm. This encourages floating algae that turn the water green. Nature will correct this itself. Once the aquatic plants wake up, they get more sun and start growing again, they will - if there are enough of them - ensure that the pond becomes clear again. It is always advisable to restart the pond in spring by adding pond bacteria.

Algae in the pond: My koi pond is cloudy

Turbid pond water in a koi pond may be because the koi carp are littering the aquatic plants . They are real root eaters. One solution is a bottom without plants or pond substrate. Do you find this too bare? Then a floating plant island, might be a good idea, where the fish can no longer eat the plants. Furthermore, with a koi pond it is important to install a plant filter in an area of the pond that is protected from the Koi fish.

Float algae: Harmful, including to pond plants

Besides being harmful to pond animals, the presence of floating algae can also lead to a decline in the growth of oxygen plants, marsh plants and water lilies. Float algae is a food competitor of the oxygen plant so that if the floating algae becomes dominant, the oxygen plant will die. This only increases the growth of floating algae. Float algae can also harm water lilies and marsh plants because the plants receive less sunlight when the water is turbid. This can lead to a decrease in underwater leaf formation. Turbid water can reduce the experiential value of the pond by making underwater life such as pond fish less visible. It is therefore important to take action as soon as possible to restore pond clarity and limit the growth of floating algae.
