Question
I have a appox 300 gal pond w/ 4 fish total size 24 in.and live in Missiouri, day temps around 85 to 90, 65% sun. I am using a Laguna Power Jet Pump 1300 GPH matched w/ a Laguna Pressure Flo 700 w/ 11 watt UV Lamp, no plants. I still continue to have Green Water. Would an additional UV clarifer help ?

Answer
Hi Joe,

You need a biofilter,

Check Aquascape Designs for it.

Water plants planted with no soil in the pond would help, but, you would still need the help of bacteria.
Adding stones to the pond would help the growth of such bacteria,



Good luck,


Carlo
