Hi everyone, we have an unstocked clay pond about 40X60ft in size 8-9ft at the deepest. In the summer we have a fountain aerator and we treat regularly with beneficial bacteria. This year I worked throughout the fall proactively removing leaves and treated the pond all winter with cold water bacteria. Already the algae is starting to form in mats on the surface and I can’t keep up fast enough removing it. Last spring when we put our fountain in, I figured it would help clear things up but it kept clogging with algae and we had to keep pulling it out. I spent weeks going crazy trying to clean the pond by hand using a skimmer. I don’t want to have to go through that again so I’m wondering what my other options are. We live in NY and it doesn’t seem you can use algalcides here (which I would rather not anyway). Would some type of diffuser work and if so, what’s my best option. Or Is there some easier way to manually remove the algae?
