This video is a follow-up from my 2 previous videos where I discussed how to do your spring clean-up in your pond which involves removing all of the algae growth that had begun.

I emphasized that there are 2 types of algae which grow within your pond making it unsightly and difficult to see your fish. The first type is the water-born algae know as planktonic algae which turns your water a pea green soup color and the second type is string algae, also known as filamentous algae. The string alga tends to grow along the edges of the pond and adheres to the roots of some plants as well.

The best way to handle the planktonic algae is which an ultra violet filtration or sterilizing unit. I use one made from Tetra Pond – the Tetra Pond UV3 Sterilizer: [ Ссылка ]

Today’s video will take you through the next step of how to properly remove the string algae.

Keep in mind that you never want to remove all of the string, or filamentous algae, because this alga provides a secondary food source for your koi and goldfish. It also provides a location for the fish to deposit their eggs and after that it provides some shelter for the babies/offspring to hide from the larger fish.

I’ll take you through the pond filter clean-up process which involves a 2-barrel system. The first barrel acts as a vortex which captures the heavier sediment and the second barrel has a series of media pads as well as a bag full of bio-balls which allow a place for healthy bacteria to grow.

This good bacteria will help filter your water by capturing some of the bad bacteria that you want remove from your pond to allow your koi and goldfish to remain as healthy as possible.
