Thanks for the welcome & fast replys! Ive been a lurker for a long time now. Great site!
That isnt my pond in the pic above.. just a pic I found online that has a similar growth on top. I was just outside earlier watering some plants and I sprayed the hose out on the pond to see what would happen. The growth is so fine when the water hits it it just turns to a cloud like powder in water. After time it floats back up.
As for area Im in southeast kentucky. Pond is fed by two springs and run off from about 20 acres. In the dry months it drops 2 feet or so and is down that much at the moment. I have a fountain for aeration. Pond is about 16ft at the deepest 4-5 feet on the shallow end. Side are steep and I had it lined with rock.
Normally its nice and clean and I dye it so its always like the last pic.
Now I have that flourescent very fine growth on top that Ive never had before. the pond is stocked with everything from stripers to koi and I feed daily and have since day one. Ive read here were feeding can cause problems as well .. but .. its never been a problem before and I feed at the same rates I always have. I dont want to kill off anything. I would though like to get rid of the growth. Anything I can do?? Or just ride it out let mother nature take charge??
Thanks again!
