I was wondering if there is a safe way to remove/prevent algae in my turtle pond. I know it doesn't seem to bother them at all, but I can't stand the look of the green water. It looks terrible, and I can't see my turtles except when they come to the surface. I enjoy watching them and really miss the clear water! They are currently not in direct sunlight all the time because they have a roof over their pond on a back porch. I have always been afraid to try the algae pond blocks that dissolve in the water that they sell for koi ponds, because I have no idea if they are safe for my turtles, and no store person anywhere has ever been able to tell me if it would be safe or not. Plus my large yellow belly would I am sure go after it and eat it...she would always do this to the little turtle shaped calcium blocks when she was younger. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
