They are ducks.....ducks are dirty! Chances are not much of that is algae....its crap and dirt and no algae stuff will work on it.

This is a very creative solution. I think that is an excellent idea. I just hope, they do not make my huge pond this dirty.

Although in the huge pond, I have 200 watt of UV, a algae ball call acqua sphear and a bead filter that collects all junk.

Normally these bead filters are very expensive and Koi owners that are good must have these filters.

Wow, neat sounding koi pond!

 

An aside . . . this afternoon I had to relocate a little frog who was visiting the duck's pondlet.  The ducks had not been to that area for several days, so the water was fairly clean.  I knew if they saw the little guy, they would try to eat it, so I helped it escape.  

 

Ah, ducks!

 

Please keep us posted on how things work out!  Water management is one of the hurdles we all go through.

Looking for ducks?  Please consider adopting rescued ducks.  There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs.  So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.

If it helps at all, I use a high capacity sump pump and a sprinkler to water my vegetable garden. I have never seen plants grow so well, just make sure you thoroughly was them prior to eating.
