I have a rather large garden pond (approximately 12' in diameter) and have an algae problem. I need assistance in identifying the algae so that I can treat it appropriately. Can you offer any assistance? Thanks. Mark Briggs

HI Mark, in spring ponds always seem to have algae problems but it's really a combination of conditions not just species of algae. check out this website and consider plant cover, how often you feed fish etc. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/watergarden/algae.cfm
