Algae overgrowth can turn a beautiful pond into a murky mess, depleting oxygen and harming aquatic life. To keep algae at bay, aeration is key—it increases oxygen levels and disrupts algae growth. Installing fountains, beneficial bacteria treatments, and natural shade from floating plants also helps maintain balance. Regularly removing debris and limiting excess nutrients, like fertilizers, prevents algae blooms before they start. With the right techniques, you can keep your pond clear, healthy, and free from unsightly green sludge.
