Waterfall Pond Journal - 2011-06-05

Took a look at the pond today and found there are some algae starting to grow already. I went ahead and added 45ml of PondCare Algaefix algaecide to the water, to help kill some of that off. After some more thought on it I should have waited and put the Clarifier in there instead, but I will wait a day and add the Clarifier. In my research I have been told that you shouldn't add algaecide and bacteria on the same day and to wait at least a day before adding the other. I am hoping either tomorrow or Tueday to add more bacteria to the water.

As you can kind of see in the pictures below the pump is sucking in the algae and the there is still quite a bit growing just 3 days after cleaning it out.
