After closer inspection of the wind blown side of the pond, I've come to the conclusion that what's floating on top is some kind of algae. Being it is concentrated to that one side, it would be easy to eradicate with some kind of algaecide. Can I use the stuff that Home Depot sells for pools or is there something else I should be using?
