Algae control needed !

11 years ago

We have a very small pond (4' X 2' X 2'deep) in a flower bed. It Is surrounded by stones and plants, but no plants or fish in pond. it is mostly used for sound of water and to keep the birds happy. it has a pump with filter that runs 24/7.

Usually following an early spring water change, bottom cleaning and filter rinse, the water will 'bloom' for a few days and then clear. This time it has remained green for 2 months in spite of 3 treatments of Tetra Pond Algae Control.

The pond gets about 2-3 hours of full sun, but I don't think this is the issue as it's actually getting much less this year than in years past when the water has cleared on it's own.

Any thoughts on how we might clear up the unsightly 'green' and do you know if this Tetra Pond product is safe for wildlife? Thanks.
