I've had several ponds and several water gardens. Every year I threaten to fill them in a plant flowers. It seem's like all I do is clean them. Last year two huge Blue Herons dropped in for dinner while I was at Wal-Mart, they ate 85 of my coi and goldfish. This year I didn't put any in. Your going to have sand and algae, weeds, garbage floating in, wind blowing things in. You can't win. All you can do is keep cleaning it. You'll get a bio system started that looks like heck but, that's mother nature, leave it. Try to go with the flow. Ponds and water gardens are a pain.

They don't use any chemicals or filters. They have carefully chosen a select group of water plants that filter and clean the water naturally. I have friends who have a water garden.

I'm doing nothing. That kind of algae is caused by heat and sunlight. Patience makes it go away. You can try tinting the water blue. My personal opinion is that nothing is the best thing. No chemicals. So’s mine. I’m doing nothing. That kind of algae is caused by heat and sunlight. Patience makes it go away. You can try tinting the water blue.
