The other I have no idea. It has kind of died off during the winter, but had really started to take off during the later part of last summer.

We're neighbors, onemore, though my pond is in Texas. One benefit of the Long Star State is that we can legally stock tilapia, which eat algae & keep the problem at bay. (Unfortunately, tilapia don't eat bushy pondweed, southern naiad. For that I need grass carp.)

I believe there are algaecides available you might look into. Good luck!
