For Natural Removal of Sludge, Organic Waste and Slime Algae!

Keeping a pond clear and beautiful isn't hard if you understand how an ecosystem works. First, anyone who claims all you need are plants, a filter, or a chemical to keep a pond clean doesn't understand how pond ecology functions (or they are just trying to sell you something). To keep water clear you need a mechanical and a biological filter, plants, fish, and bacteria. Taking out any one of these elements causes the ecosystem to work less effectively and conditions to improve for algae growth. A well-balanced pond combining all of these factors should never go through a "green phase." Never, ever use chemicals to kill algae. Chemicals will kill algae, but can also destroy the ecosystem thus creating a lot more problems in the long run. A well-designed pond is a balance of filters, plants, and bacteria, all working together.
