| | | Wildlife pond - too clear?
Hi all,
Weird question here - my wildlife pond (created first week may) is now so incredibly clear I wondered if that can ever be a problem. I have plenty of oxygenators -it did go a little green after a couple of weeks and visibilty wasn't great but now I can see even the tadpoles that are at the deepest part (around 75cm).
Everything seems very healthy and happy but I still wondered if too clear can ever be an issue. It seemed to start clearing once we had some rain - is that normal?
Thanks!

Sounds brilliant to me, well done! My pond is very clear (or was until the newts started thrashing about in it) so I don't think it's a problem

The clearer the better.
Pond Conservation reckon the most vital thing for a willdlife pond is clear water....but...something also vital in this case is lots of vegetation for things to hide in or under!

Up until a few weeks ago mine slightly overrun with algae, however, the taddies have sorted that out and mine too is very clear at the mo. Should go through phases
