In one section of my pond I am developing an orangy brown algae-like slime coating the rocks/bottom. It is tricky to describe however I believe it has something to do with water flowing into the pond through an area of rotting vegetation. The water coming in has this strange orange tinge to it along with some shiny flakes of orange as well. (Not gold I am afraid and there is also a bit of an oil-like slick associated with it). I wish I could describe it better.... anyways the substance forms rapidly and has no real substance if you try to pick it up... any ideas out there?
