Hi there. I'm Jennifer, and I just bought myself a home with 3.5 acres of land and a small pond. I measured it yesterday, and it comes out to about 195,000 gallons. It doesn't seem like it has been cared for very well, and I'd like to change that. I like to stay away from harmful chemical treatments. I don't want to kill or harm any aquatic life, bees, birds, my dog, myself, etc. But I do want to get rid of harmful, nasty agae and muck. I'd like to see clear, enjoyable water. I'm not sure really how or where to start. I've looked around online, and I have a pond type store near me that is open next weekend when I can go. I know I need to get some mosquito treatment and algae treatment. The questions are...how much? what brand? A water test kit? Open to help!
