From Murky to Marvellous: Transforming Your Pond with Green Water Solutions

Maintaining a clear and healthy pond can be challenging, especially when battling persistent green water caused by algae. Algae thrive on excess nutrients and can quickly turn your pond into a murky, unattractive mess. Let’s explore the practical and effective strategies for reducing green water to ensure your pond remains a beautiful and healthy environment for your aquatic life.

Regular Water Changes
Performing regular water changes helps dilute the nutrients in the pond water, reducing the food supply for algae. Aim to change 10-20% of the water weekly, and use a dechlorinator if you’re using tap water to ensure it's safe for your fish.

Using a dechlorinator, like Evolution Aqua Detox dechlorinator, ensures your tap water is safe for fish when doing water changes.

Control Fish Feeding
Overfeeding your fish can lead to excess waste and nutrients in the water, which can promote algae growth. Feed your fish only what they can consume in a few minutes.

We’d also recommend using high-quality fish food that doesn’t cloud water can help maintain water quality.

Install a UV Clarifier
UV clarifiers are highly effective in controlling green water by killing the microscopic algae that cause it. Installing a UV clarifier in your pond's filtration system can significantly reduce algae blooms.

We have a range of UV Clarifiers from 15W up to 110W including our titanium enhanced clarifiers the evoUV Ti.

Optimize Filtration
A well-maintained and efficient filtration system helps remove excess nutrients from the water, which algae feed on. Make sure your pond filter is appropriate for the size of your pond and that it's cleaned regularly.

Add Beneficial Bacteria
Beneficial bacteria help break down organic waste, reducing the nutrients available for algae growth. Evolution Aqua's award winning PURE range can help maintain water quality, speed up media maturity, clean up organic and even waste digest sludge. Remember fish are happier with PURE.

By implementing these tips, you can effectively manage and reduce green water in your pond, creating a healthier and more visually appealing environment for your aquatic life.
