FF seem to do a good job with algae, usually turn the filter on for a few hours a day, water movement seems to help as well. Will see how things go in the height of summer, hopefully the fresh flushes from all the rain will keep things in check, otherwise I might employ an algaecide. Not wooried about staining as the pool needed to be repainted and retiled anyway, this saved me that hassle for the time being. When I want to sell the place I will redo the pool then.
Gars are illegal, I have a permit for mine as I owned them before the ban two yrs ago. Pbass will probably show up on the next round of additions to the noxious fish list later this year or next so will probably have to get a permit for them as well. Silver aros will also likely join that list so will pick some up when they are bred in the next few months.
Pool is also full of freshwater jellyfish which seem to be blooming at the moment. They are about the size of an aussie 5cent piece. Pretty cool, the girl has three in a glass bowl and feeds them daphnia, bbs and mozzie wrigglers. Will sort an underwater camera soon and get some pics with the fish.
bummer when summer comes around and you cant swim tho
