Aeration may help as well as increasing water flow-through, if there is any in your pond. I found a great book called Earth Ponds at the Salvation Army last fall, it lays out in detail how all of the systems interact in a pond. As I understand it algae is caused by warm water and excessive nutrients in the water, and low oxygen levels. I am starting this year to clean out the bottom of our 55 year old pond and in places there is over a foot of muck and debris on the bottom. I am forking it out by hand into a wheelbarrow, which limits me to working in areas with 5" depth or less, but in a dry year the pond may go down enough so that I can get out into the middle where it is 8" deep. It will take time since I can only work on it a bit at a time with the other things that need to be done, but I can see a difference already. Zach
