Charca Verde

The Skippy Filter web site assures us this is normal. But it's ugly! The water has gone green again. They say this is to be expected - part of the normal cycle - before everything eventually stabilizes and the pond stays crystal clear to infinity and beyond. I hope they're right. We're struggling to resist urges for water changes, adding clarifying chemicals, or changing the number of type of pads in the filter. Poshly, we alternately tell each other...this too shall pass.
