Every year is a bit different, and I think it all comes down to the winter-spring weather conditions. Glad the photos were helpful!Jocelyn H.

This will be my first attempt at a clean up. I had a problem with string algae - big time. Got some barley pellets and put them in my waterfall filter. It worked very well - now I just have to get in and clean up all the decaying dead algae. I have seen my fish (3 koi)with the increase in temperature. They have hidden in some cave features most of the winter months. Thanks for the pix of the cleaning process. Will have to go to True Pump and get another pump and some large hose. Using Kosher salt to clean up the algae and gunk.Mark N Denvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-70168731345952575512010-04-11T19:34:40.336-06:002010-04-11T19:34:40.336-06:00I did the same thing recently.

About twice a year I clean it out and put the accumulated sludge on my garden where the plants love it.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-68140182226661859962010-04-11T12:42:42.972-06:002010-04-11T12:42:42.972-06:00Our "blue" fish and a couple of hatchlin...Our "blue" fish and a couple of hatchlings that had were in the 10-12" range.Jocelyn H.
