I learned you can't filter algea today

I have to add tadpoles, algea eating fish, and plants. I went to the local real pond and grabbed a bunch of pond seaweed. The fish like it. It's a start. I also drained about a 1/4 of it, pouring it in large buckets into my side growing area (the plants should love it), then put in about 40 gallons (still not back full) in, an 8 gallon bucket at a time after using a bit of this in each: http://www.seachem.c..._pages/Prime.html

When we first got the fish, they swam in circles all the time. As I added pumps, they stopped. They are still swimming, just the water is passing by while they stay in place most of the time. I'd say the whole pond gets pushed to the top of the rocks and runs the filter path every few minutes. The bottom of the rocks is a 6 inch drop so it aerates as well. Pushes up the local ion level. People love hanging out at waterwalls for that. M told me they responded to the tapping before feeding by coming to the surface and swimming to her side. I thought they were, but I was waiting for someone else to tell me in case I was imagining it.
