    Don't you run a UV light? It seems to do the trick for me. Nice green carpet growing on the walls of my pond that the Koi nibble on but the water is clear.

    How did the new products work?

    Hey Henk, I'm using pea sized gravel/stones that are actually "recycled" from one of my fish tanks. Should probably go a bit bigger, right?
