Posted	clear water
22-04-2007 21:24 by leehorton	hi all im new to this forum and wanted to exchange ideas on all your pond water clarity secrets maybe we can put our heads together and sort it once and for all lol
22-04-2007 21:38 by Ste	if your water is green buy a UV filter providing you get the right size for your pond it will work wonders
22-04-2007 21:45 by Tangmad	Use a uv change every six months make sure the water flows slowly over the media i use alfragrog mine is not perfect but then the fish dont like crystal clear either. I have used carbon sponges before my main filter and this improved the clarity greatly but it also improved the herons visability lost 2 good fish so now i leave to nature a happy medium also try and shade the pond to stop the algae build up I have tropical fish and marine fish and i have found that keeping koi is by far the easiest in my opinion i just leave well alone and dont mess what aint broke.
23-04-2007 16:02 by Woz	my koi pond is over three times filtered so the water is pretty much clear, not much algae as ive got a UV filter, my pond also gets two 20% water changes a week, not because i want to, the *** waterfall wont stop leaking, suppose it wont do any harm though
23-04-2007 19:25 by Danny Boy	dont forget all fish live in murky water, full of all kinds of particles its actually pretty un-natural for the fish to have clear water
24-04-2007 18:34 by jonie	good point danny, ive alwys thought that, predatory fish would probab;y [refer murky water, so prey cant see them,(as most have specialised eyes) so they can see better
