Frequently Asked Questions...
Tetra pond algae control turned my pond water black, is that normal?
My 550 gallon pond was getting really green to the point where I couldn't even see my fish until they came to the surface to eat. Yesterday, I went to the pet store and purchased TetraPond Algae control and used it as directed. I diluted it in a bucket of water then poured it into the pond along the edges. When I woke up this morning the pond water was really dark. Is that normal? and will it eventually clear up?
Also, on another note, last week I put in TetraPond Barley and Peat stuff, I don't Know if it was okay to put in the algae stuff ontop of the barley and peat stuff. It wasn't clearing my water so I put in the algae stuff.
Answer:
I have the same problem, but I don't even own chemicals.
I just wait for the temp to down, and the sun to disappear.
I have 75% of my pond surface covered with plants, so it never gets really bad.
