I'm trying to get rid of all the algae in my fish pond because there's a heap of it and the water's not clear anymore, but I don't know what to do with it. I was just planning to take a bit of the water out and also put some pond cleanser stuff in, but I don't know what to do with the algae-infested water. Would it be okay to just throw it on the grass or would that be bad for the grass? If it is bad for the grass what else can I do with the water?
Thanx heaps =D

Well getting rid of algae is very hard to do when outside. There is product called Bio Restoration. here is how its used.

?Use a combination of liquid products called Bio-Restoration 1 and 2. This non-toxic duo rids ponds of all unwelcome growth, without harming fish. Pour Bio-Restoration 1 into the pond to stop the process of photosynthesis. All algae present in the pond will fall and die as the pond water turns a lilac color. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com

?2
Add Bio-Restoration 2 to the pond and watch the microorganisms and enzymes break down the algae. The application of the second product also clears away the lilac color and restores the natural blue of the pond water.

?3
Change the pond water regularly to inhibit nutrient production. If algae have nothing to feed on, they can't survive. A good filter works also, but not as well as changing the water.

?4
Add 1 lb. of non-iodized salt to the pond every 12 hours up to three times. As the algae floats to the surface, it must be skimmed off.

?5
Place an ultra sonic device into the pond to safely kill algae. The vibrations break down algae cells causing them to die without killing other plants or fish.


Hope this helps. its a method i have heard of before and it works fairly well.

as for the algae infested water i would say throw it out onto some gravel of the drive way or off into the woods.
