Ponds and Algae

[turbomkt]

OK...I don't have a pond, but know someone that does and is asking for help (Since my tank doesn't believe in algae thanks to EI). Does anyone have info on controlling algae in a pond?

Sure, add more floating plants, works every time.

That's what I figured. Maybe I'll take over some of my rotundifolia

Hyacinth is the most common weed.
I like Cow lily, lotus etc

Shoot for 50% surface coverage or slightly higher till things get better.
Prune off leaves if they get too big, too much coverage.
