Our pond is fairly new... completed in April, and we have had good results with the all natural, can't overdose the pond good bacteria. I recently pulled all of the water lettuce that we had in the pond out, as it was all going yellow and bad from too much direct sun. We still have other plants (planted in clay), a few snails, and yesterday we put barley balls in (but they take some time to work). Since removing the water lettuce, it's gone pea-soupy... it's very hot here, I'm looking for suggestions. I would do the hydrogen peroxide thing if I knew ratios so I don't hurt the fish or plants....

Thanks in advance,
