Algae in pond

[Blue bio balls]

The algae is feeding on something, no need for chemicals.

Chemical algae killer works great, if used right kill it in sections, if you kill it all at once when it dies it will deplete the oxygen levels in he water enough to kill your fish , just be careful with it

Yeah the 1 gal jug had a small release valve of some sort. It floated around the pond for weeks and slowly controlled the algae.

pretty sure our winter would kill them , that's why we don't have alligators in N GA .. I did see one I Washington county last year.

In Roswell Ga. Two years ago.

The chemical solves the problem. End of Algae story and sort of like inoculating your kid. It works and is safe.

How big is your pond?
You need sterile grass carp.
We get ours from a guy in Ellijay.
You have to be really careful with chemicals, they will kill your fish if you make a mistake..

Chemicals are a bandaid at best.

Im no scientist - but I have read that introducing water lillies and other floating water plants will help absorb some of the sunlight that the algae need to thrive?
