Hey all, was wondering if there are any chemicals out there that I can use to remove the angel hair algae from my overflow pond. The main pond is ok cause I have 14 koi that remove it. But it constantly grow in the overflow.
Cheers

Fill your overflow pond with plants Jared, a bit of shade reduces the algae, as well as plants removing nitrates which promote algae growth as well as the plants doing a great job of filtering your pond for you smile.gif

That's a great idea riggers.. but my overflow probably only holds about 20-30 litres. And I have a big dirty water pump pushing quite alot of litres an hr....how do I secure these plants?

A bit of pea gravel should do the trick smile.gif
