If you have fish, some form of filtration is absolutely necessary. Not just to work at keeping the water cleaner, which it should do, but it also helps keep things like ammonia in check that can be deadly to fish. Glad you found the solution for your situation and now enjoy clean water...I'm sure your fish do too! Mark Hi Cookie,

I finally found the secret!!! I bought a filter pump and I can finally see all my fish. It is wonderful and I can't believe that my water is no longer green! The filter has a backwash so I can even water my flowers and trees with it. It was a small investment but doesn't compare with all the money I have spent on chemicals to try to control green water.

It's likely they went to work and reduced your organic load enough to limit the algae growth. I think most experts recognize that the snails do eat algae, but many feel they can't keep up if it's a big problem. The thing is though, that if they do go to work on the organic gunk in the pond, that alone just might help enough to clear the water as it did in your case. Well done! Hi James,

I just added a number of trap door snails and my water is crystal clear. I am amazed. I have had a pond for about 10 years and it would always get green.
