Pond Temp in Socal

[kendragon]

This year we did not experience high temps. Was a rather mild Summer. Now it's Oct and water temp is cooling down. These lower temps make it very easy to maintain the water quality and filter. So grateful for everything around me.

Do you understand the difference between clean and clear? Balance is the key. Fish load, filtration and the hardiest is nitrate control.

If you got algae then you got nitrate. You can add a UV to get rid of the blur or reduce nitrate.
