Is Basic H2 the same as Basic H? I have been having trouble finding the reg
Basic H.

In addition to being a wormer, Basic H prevents algae from growing in
your tanks. If you don't have fish, you could try Basic H to keep the
algae in check.

Terry,
I am glad to hear information about the Aquashade -- I did not know
much about it and have never used it. Personally, I do not like the
idea of coloring the water anyway, as it looks fake and the possible
toxicity is always a worry. So that pretty much settles it for me: I
would not consider this as a solution to keeping algae off livestock
ponds.
However, another solution which you touched upon is an aerating
fountain. That involves some up-front cost, but might be the most
natural, non-invasive solution of all. I know someone who has a
floating aerating fountain connected to a dedicated windmill. The
windmill drives the fountain pump so that no other power source is
needed. This might be a good solution.
Another approach: I have added several geese to my farm over the past
2 years, and I have no algae nor pond weed anymore. I wasn't sure if
the waterfowl addition would be good or bad for the pond, but so far
it seems to have a fairly benevolent effect. Of course, you have to
put up with a little honking and squabbling of the birds from time to
time, ha ha!
