So, my parents are now proud owners of a small backyard pond, but really have no idea how to take care of it or really where to get the supplies necessary to take care of it. So I decided to do a little digging around on the internet and found a company called Natural Environmental Systems. They have a good selection of products for taking care of the water in a pond, but better than that, they had a wealth of information on how to take care of a pond, especialy where pond algae control is concerned. They have varied assortment of products, packages and programs for keeping algae down, which from what I read is a pond owners biggest problem. What is really cool about this company is that they appear to have a focus on natural solutions vs the usage of too many chemicals. So, needless to say I did make a small purchase for my parents consisting of a couple of basic items that I deemed necessary like pond bacteria and this fish safe algaecide called GreenClean. Order should arrive in a few days. I will report back how it goes.
