How to remove string algae from a pond

What does it look like?

  • Areas of water flow blocked by string algae
  • Cotton wool like string algae choking the pond
  • Green stringy plants stuck to side of the pond

What are the fish doing?

  • Can reduce swimming areas – fish may be in one area of the pond
  • In extreme cases may reduce oxygen causing fish gasping and rapid gill movement

What should I do?

  • Manually remove as much string algae as possible
  • Test your ponds pH – A high pH may have caused the outbreak
  • Treat the cleared pond with Pond Balance and Barley
  • Encourage good plant growth by cutting away dead plants and adding good nutrients in plant food – Cut out light by planting floating pond plants (Lilies) or create some level of shade over the pond to prevent an over exposure of sunlight
