Effective Algae Control for Koi Ponds, Water Gardens, and Fountains
Algae growth is a common challenge for Maryland & Northern Virginia pond and fountain owners, often turning beautiful water features into murky, unappealing environments. Whether you have a koi pond, water garden, or fountain, controlling algae is essential to maintaining clear, healthy water and ensuring the longevity of your aquatic ecosystem.
Common Types of Algae
-
Green Water Algae (Planktonic Algae)
This type of algae causes the water to turn green and cloudy, making it difficult to see fish or other aquatic life. It thrives in nutrient-rich environments with ample sunlight. -
String Algae (Filamentous Algae)
Also known as hair algae, this type forms long, stringy filaments that cling to rocks, plants, and pond liners. It can quickly overtake a pond if left unchecked. -
Blue-Green Algae (Cyanobacteria)
Although not a true algae, cyanobacteria can create harmful blooms that release toxins, posing a risk to fish and other aquatic life. -
Diatoms (Brown Algae)
Found in fountains and ponds with low light, diatoms create a brownish film on surfaces and can make water features appear dirty.
