Question: my koi pond filter is green w algae??
Posted by: Mark

Yesterday we had a huge, flash flood enducing storm and a fair portion of mud/sand mix slid from the banks of my 500 gallon (estimate) pond into the water. Now, its brown (obviously). The pump is still working and I pulled it out this morning to clean out the filter pads, but left all the bio ball and gunk in the bottom. Here is my question: until the sediment has a chance to settle, is this brown water going to harm my fish? Can they breathe? They're not visible now,
Thank you.

We put in a pond about 6 years ago. We have never had a problem with the fish dying. We have goldfish and koi. This year however, when we pulled off the leaf net in the spring, all our big koi had died. Now, we are having dead fish everyday, about 5 a day. Someone told us about pond water "turning" and when that happens your water clears up but all your fish die. Could this be what is happening? What can we do to prevent all the fish from dying? It has been really hot here this summer, could the heat have an affect on the fish? Thank you for your help!

I have a small pond and waterfall. My plants are overtaking the pond. They are tall plants with purple foliage. Is there any product that will kill some of the plants and not hurt my fish? The root system is very strong andf I am afraid of damaging the rubber lining by digging.

Im new here, throught I would drop in and say hello. Been lurking around these forums for a while.

i have a pond that is about 1 square acre and is in the middle of the woods and is about 20 feet deep max and the bottom is full of sand and mud what should i stock in there.

I recently purchased 500 trout fingerlings from you and to my dismay I went down there and they were all floating on the surface. Im wondering if you could help me out. please.
