    I use an enzyme made by Microbe-Lift. It’s works well. If you keep at least 1/2 the top of the pond covered with floating plants, 1 bunch of submerged vegetation per square foot of pond surface and do not feel your fish, you will be rid of algae soon.
    This does not work with koi. You need extra filtration and a UV light to keep a koi pond algae free because you have to feed koi.

    Before you use chemicals check out skippy’s koi and pond website. There is a lot of discussion on how to control algae naturally. We added plants including hyacinths to our pond and it made a lot of difference. There are better ways than using chemicals to control water quality.
