Hi, I myself have a pond, and i use Laguna "Clear Fast" Pond Water Treatment and it works great and is safe for plants and fishes.

Feel free to check out my pond picture gallery if your interested.

hey richard,
we loved your pond,my husband did our's over the spring but he's going to ''repond'' as he call's it but i know i will have alot of questions to ask you. what size pump do you use for that size pond?

thanks,
kelly

We use a standard 1/3rd horse sumb pump inside of a underground barrel using a gravity feed 4" pipe from the main pond, and that pumps water into a barrel so it overflows in a natural way for our waterfall, sorry for the long delay in responding. If you have any further questions feel free to drop me a line by email.

Your best bet will be to use an algaecide. When my pond had algae, I used a product called Captain. I had great results.
Good luck!

Hi Kelly!

I know a site that has lots of information about algae i.e. prevention and guidelines for your pond. Hope this helps!
