No offense taken, but does your algae bloom normally end up as scum on the surface? I may be experiencing something different. Its a green bubbly slime on the surface dang near looks like water meal but it hasn't any texture or grainy feel to it just small slimy bubbles that dissolve when you run your hand through it, but leaves slime on your hand.

I am afraid my neighbor fertilized his field up hill from my pond before we had all the rains and now it has effected me, I see the pictures of algae bloom but none show slime on the surface which would cover the entire pond if there isn't any wind.

I would like to get my pond suitable to swim in, and I don't mean crystal clear. its has at the moment about 6" visibility. it could be muddy all year and I would swim in it as long as the surface was clear of slime.

My pond has come along way in the last couple years so I think I need to stay patience and hopefully it will come out of it in the next couple years. But I have never been known to be patience

A little snow, Please!
