In this video I compare my experience with a typical algaecide and the use of hydrogen peroxide to reduce/suppress algae in my custom DIY pond.
The cost of this build was around $3k because I did all the work alone. This would cost between $15-$25k to be done by pros. UPDATE ON THE WELL...I no longer use it to top off the pond. There is too much mineral content in the well water for top-offs.
