We built ourselves a pond a few years back and it's doing pretty well.
However we've had a pretty persistant problem where the pond is a rather nice shade of green.
I've tried adding products that's meant to help, but I havn't seen any difference, long or short term.
The pond does get alot of sunlight, I'd tried covering it in water hyacinth's and some lillies a friend gave me, but they never seem to do well, always dying off. The fish are always nibbling.
I'm starting to think the problem is down to filtration, as embarrasing as it is, I can't remember the size of the pond at the moment, but I the filter is a Bioforce 1200 and when I bought it, it was just the *right* size for the pond with a heavy load.
Would attaching another, maybe smaller, filter to the pond help with my problem? Or am I going in the wrong direction?
