[QUOTE="brihop, post: 1024796, member: 18530"] like greybeard said, clearing surrounding trees did you no good, sunlight only going to make water quality worse. My 2 cents, plant some desirable aquatic vegetation, which will compete with the algae for nutrients. plant around the edges and also get some lilies if you can, which will also shade the water. make sure you have minnows and small fish to eat the m.larvae, if not stock it up (after you put plants, they need a place to hide from bigger fish). then enjoy the fishin hole! *edit: for clarification, sunlight does not only mean more energy for algae, but also higher water temps means lower oxygen levels in the water (unhappy or dead fish).
