Hi, I have a garden pong that contains about 3400 gallons of water and is 5 feet deep at its deepest point and has uneven depths. I have a pump that has a flow rate of about 3500 gallons per hour and some plants line a lilly pad and ferns around the pond. It is exposed in full sunlight for about 4 ours, the rest of the time its in shade. I wanted to put in a water turtle, but am scared of the excessive algae. Can anyone help. Don't want to add chemical products that will be harmful to fauna. Thanks all !
