Green koi water

[tnokie]

I can't get my koi pond to clear up this spring. I put in the algae block tabs which always worked before and change the filter daily but it just isn't clearing Anyone know of ways to clear the water but not kill the fish that doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Barley straw. Check with the pondguy to order.

I agree with the barley straw. However, you need to address the problem of nutrients in your pond. If you are having algae bloom, it is eating something. I always let my ponds go the natural course, other than pulling blanket algae out. If you leave a pond alone, it will balance itself. If it can't balance, if you have high levels of algae for a long time, then your pond may be overstocked, or there is some other way that the pond is filling up with nutrients.
