Water Gardening: Do KOI get bored?, 0 by fredrump

I see what you mean about cost. I'd have to spend $120 plus tax and shipping about every two months. I think I'll try the manual removal bit first. You say it keeps it gone. Yeah, if you keep treating the pond every month. :-) The hyacinth have some roots but I'll have to pull them up to see what is string algae and what is root. The string stuff is on my waterfall and in my open flow area. The pond itself seems to be OK. Maybe the Koi eat the stuff there. My main concern is my absence when I trust the pond to a neighbor who really doesn't have a clue. I can't just fly into Naples from wherever I am to see what the matter may be. I can only hope for the best. During June, July and August I should have a camera on the pond for remote checking. At some point I may just do that via the net. The problem then is keeping a computer running without fail and without human intervention.
