Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization Want to see a picture of a good Algae Bloom

A year and half ago I completely cleaned out a pond and some weeds grew back in the dirt on the sides whcich made awesome habitat for FHM and Golden shiners right now the water itself is very green no green stuff on top just in the water itself are super small green particles making the water bright green is this a good aglae bloom? Will this kill the fish. I seen lots of small FHM minnows swimming on the top and edge like it didnt bother them.

This




Turned in this in about a week...




Then this a couple weeks later...





And now I have this..





BTW, pretty sure mine are not the pictures you want to see if you are talking about a good bloom cause I am sure it is NOT!!!

Well mine is all exactly the color green its not broken up at all. all of the water is exactly the same color green with nothing floating. Did this kill your fish?

None so far... This is only my second year owning the pond and I fought this problem last year but it didn't come on until a lot later..

Mine when mixed by rain or wind appears to all the same color...The suspended particles move up and down in the water column depending on weather... It has pretty much caused me to drink and lose many hours of sleep...

I would like to see a picture of a good algae bloom after fertilizing if someone has one that would be awesome! Thanks!
