Goodbye forever, algae monster! 💪🏼🌱
Today we were lucky enough to work on this stunning pond, which had become overtaken by a mountain of algae in various forms.
To tackle it, we:
✅ Carefully hand-removed large strands and mats of algae
✅ Cleared algae growing along the pond edges
✅ Carried out a 25% water change
✅ Removed dead and decaying plant material
Along the way, we were lucky enough to discover some incredible wildlife residents, including newts and diving beetles, which is a fantastic sign of a healthy, well-established pond ecosystem. 🦎💚
The water is currently a little cloudy due to sediment being disturbed during the clean, but this will settle naturally over the coming weeks.
A huge improvement and another happy pond! 🐟🌿
