Green water ? probably in full sun all day without shade. If, it's a small pond the problem is easy. Introduce a physical barrier between the pond and the sun - simple.
Re-activating this thread as we've had the builders in and I had to empty the barrel because it was in the way. So now I'm going to restart my little pond - I have a water lily and a couple of irises which are going to just have their feet in the water.
I may reposition the whole thing so that it's not in full sun but what's best - a little sun at certain times of day, or no direct sun, perhaps just a well lit area? I could put it in a spot that gets later afternoon and evening sun. I don't want to make the same mistake again - the water lily has a bit of blanket weed on the stems so I want to get rid of that obviously.
