Put an intake filter on the pump...?

If you've got nutrients, you'll have algae. There's algae in all my ponds.

I don't know of any way to defeat it long term except active removal (chemicals, algae eaters, hand scrubbing). Everything else is just keeping it under control.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.
