ted my daughter was born in sidney ohio and i in toledo nice to hear from a buckeye transplanted near houston.

ted how does this help filamentous algae - i tried the eco system web site and being a true novice at this could not understand anything there.

i am now quite sorry i ever put in this pond which is just used as a decoration in my backyard. i had no idea that it would be this much trouble to understand how to control this algae problem.

my plan is now to try to control it with cutrine liquid, after under control use qutrine granules in between for around the edges of the pond. so far thats where my algae problem seems to be mostly around the edges of the pond. and if that fails use aquashade to shade the sunlight along with the cutrine.

if that fails next year i will try talpia in early april here in texas we have really long summers and a peak of cool in dec and jan normally only 15 nights below 32 degrees the whole year.

thanks
