No UV light
My pond water started to go green, and I saw that my UV light burned out. Unfortunately, it is of the type that is not readily available here, and my local pond guy (Roger) had to order it from the US. The real bad news is that it will probably be another 10 days+ before it comes in.
My concern, of course, is that the algae will turn to pea soup, and begin to die, killing my fish due to lack of O2. But Roger is telling me not to worry, and it should be OK for a couple weeks. Luckily, the weather has been mostly cloudy and cool recently, but it is supposed to get nice again next week. Sure hope he is right.
Don't know what else I can do in the meantime. I don't think trying to cover it with a tarp is a good idea... Fish seem to be OK, for now.
