Hi

many thanks for everyones help. Thankfully it is not blanket weed as I have a UV filter and the green water produces long strings of algae underwater. Do you think that contains a lot of Nitrogen then?

I also have a UV, and used barley straw, but none were as effective as Blanket Answer, and its completely natural, no harm to the fish, or plant life, I now enjoy my pond more as I am not constantly dragging out the dreaded weed!!

You've got to remember there are more than one type of algae, your UV will clears the green water which is one type of algae, but that opens the door to blanket weed which is another type.

This picture reflects the quality of the water in my pond!

My second link is the pond doctor website which explains about the causes of blanket weed

many thanks for your help, I get what you mean now, sorry,. yes I will use it then, I don't mind it in my pond but it looked so useful!!

I was wondering whether it was warm enough to feed the fish, I was a bit worried about feeding so thanks islandman you have confirmed my feelings.

cheers everyone
