well i forgot another subject my wife brought up to explore last night (sometimes shes a pain in the ?).

aquashade colors the pond blue. i have seen blue ponds here in texas and my wife thinks they look phony. she likes the green natural look. perhaps the pond we saw that was blue the owner calculated the size impropery and put to much in.
do they make a shading that is more natural looking than the blue?

also the pond areator which is a 2 horsepower submersiable that sprays about 18 feet in the air is currently running about 7 hours a day. does an areator like this help algae or hurt algae from an estetic stantpoint?

you thoughts are certainly appreciated.
