Algae Infestation (I want my Krabby Patty Secret Formula!!!!!) [ Got a clue what type of algae the pond is infested in]

That's right.The algae is planktonic algae and is described by my reference as 'Green Pea Soup'.*lol* The reference also provided some answers. *background* "The Krabby Patty Formula! Its finally mine after 20 long years......"No! That's the same one you grabbed when ya called all your country bumpkin relatives and.....arrgh never mind.* KER-FLICK!*
Right...the solutions.

1. The pond might have too small a pump/filter.
Remark: I'm not sure if this solution is possible as I had never seen the blueprints for the pond.

2.The pond is under full sunlight.
Remark: Obviously this is one of the reasons for the algae growth as the pond is under full sun at all times.

3.The pond is very shallow around the edges or water does not circulate in it.
Remark: I'm not sure if the pond is that shallow around the edges but from that day's observations, the water level had dropped by about 3cm. Water Circulation could be a possibility as I don't think a part of the school janitor's contract is ' Take Large Pole and Swirl pond Water Every day at 6pm ( try to kill as little tadpoles and guppies as possible)'


Thanks for reading my suggestions and will post picture of pie soon.*mumbles* "Now where do I get a pie..."

Pond Algae

Pond algae can turn water green, and also constrict the amount of oxygen the plants and animals are receiving.
Having a proper balance of plants and fish is an important factor. Fifty to seventy percent of the surface of the pond should be covered with plants. This will block the sunlight from reaching the bottom of the pond, and sunlight is what algae feeds off.
Submerged plants will also help slow down algae growth as they help balance the nutrients in your pond. Fish create bacteria and algae is more likely to grow in bacteria filled environments, in fact algae feeds off on fish excrement, so don’t have more fish then your pond can hold and don’t overfeed your fish.
Try using a UV sterilizer or a chemical treatment to get rid of algae.

Evil algae

algae is formed because of (needs) high temperatures, sunlight, warmth, stagnant water, things to let it grow on and carbon dioxide.

Because the plants at the bottom cannot make food (may be due to too many floating plants ) no rain...cold temperatures ... ... the plants cannot photosynthesise .. and thus not enough oxygen for fishes /tapoles and all on surface of pond ... and because of too many floating plants ... the plants that are fully submerged and cannot photosynthesize and it will have more carbon dioxide for algae to grow ...

solution: (ignore the problem ... he hex )
jun jie said put sucker fish
can also put algae eaters
tell mr sam (just kidding , can't think of anything else )
pluck out some floating plants ..

The Algae Problem.

I found out a few solutions for the algae problem:
1. Add in prawns as they eat algae( very SLOW!!)
2. Add a sucking fish( if possible i donate mine)
3. Add in air pump/Filter(need electicity)
4. Use chemical( Able to buy from fish shop)
5. Add a UV light sterilliser( Very EXPENSIVE! And need electicity!)
6. Add covering to block direct sunlight

Algae growth need 3 key factors:
1. Strong sunlight(we have that)
2. Lots of Food like fish poo, thus creating ammonia( food for algae)
3. Carbon dioxide(the pond does not have enough oxygen)

Hope this would help............

master chief loves friends

i think tha t friends are super important because they support you most when you are in the darkest times.i have learnt many things about friend ship.first of all,friends do not need to stick to each other.even married couples do not do that.second of all,secondly,we must give each other some"my special alone time"time.And last,we must not bully others by saying light hearted words over again. light hearted words+ repeating=mess with mind=bullying=unhappiness.

anybody by the name of WESLEY AU please decode this:it is ok wes i am sorry too.but whats the meaning of"plight"?

algae algae and more algae!!!

Things needed for algae to grow so rapidly:
-lots of sunshine (above 39 degree celsiuos)
-stagnant water
-water
well, i think that the algae did not grow rapidly it is just that we did not discover it. I said that, because the condition seems unfavourable, the teperature within these few days is lower than 39 degree celsious about 32 to 35 degree celsious. But stagnant water is provided for the algae to grow as there is no raining for the past few days.

UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is something that can last for forever.It is a way of connecting people together. for example friendship helps different races, girls and boys to cooperate regardless of what the other has done . real friends are people who listen to your probelms instead of using it as a help to make fun of you. a good friend cheers you up when you feel uneasy. I have many friends who helpme and whenever we get into a quarrel , we become friends the next day.

Friends are great!

Actually..I've never really had a real bestfriend. I just try not to have any like, BEST friends just incase i get hurt while doing so. Those who were with me for years, are super!! We stick like superglue, although sometimes we fight, its very fast before one of us says sorry.

I cope with big upsets or little upsets by calming down, thinking of what had just happened and then going to my friend to apologise. Its not very easy to say sorry, but if we are really in the wrong, we should do it no matter what, as we wont feel good without doing it.

A good friend to me is well, staying by your side when you are down, trying to cheer you up, rather than running you down and always discouraging you. One who cares about you, helps you, one who can keep secrets for you and not tell anyone, one who supports you up when you fall. And of course, when we quarrel, its better that we could get back together as friends again.

friendship

When I was in primary 1, I didn't study in Singapore but in China in a school called Utahloy International School. There, I made two best friends and several other friends (or so-called friends).

grade 1.
In that level, I met my first best friend. His name was Alexander Ringrose (short form would be Alex Ringrose) an Australian. He was one of those kind of guys that had probably anti-girl spray all over himself and with crusty snot all over his nose and who drank yogurt for lunch leaving him with a white moustache.

Well, during recess,we would just walk around, find some girls to play pranks on and then running away from a bunch of mad girls laughing our head off at the same time. (Back then I was a total devil). At other times, we would be so bored lazy that we would pop into the school libary and doodle on the scrap paper and make them into paper airplanes to throw around. But of course, in friendship there is sure to be some ups and downs!

A very perfect example would be the time when I was first introduced to soccer. I would stroll into the soccer field to join a game or get my teeth knocked off. But then, Alex couldn't follow me because of his brittle bones. Then he would whine about it and then it will get real 'emo'. But being good friends, we were able to patch up the holes in our friendship and become good friends again.

BUT, just as we were becoming super good friends, I recieved a piece of very devastating news.

My best friend was going back to his home country. Back then, I felt like breaking down and crying till the end of the world. But, as the saying goes, you gotta move on in life! So I said my final goodbyes and moved on.

It didn't stop there though.

grade 3
I met my second best friend, and his name was Gabriel. Unlike Alex, he was from Hong Kong. And, he was a total maths genius - plump with stubby legs and quite weird - a soccer whiz. He also had a squeaky vioce but the best thing was that we took the same school bus! Then, we waged a mini war with my brother and his friend almost every day. But as people also say, your friends will influence you. True enough, he turned me into an angel! (except for my chinese heehee) He was like a grade 1 friend. Those who would stay with you through good and bad days.

But then, it was my turn to leave the school.

So here I am, in Singapore, studying in a government school. I conclude that you got to know how to pick your friends. Advice? Don't befriend people who always pick on you or alway try to harm you. Go for those friends who defend you from bullies no matter what and help you in your studies. And of course, if you quarrel with your best friend, don't unleash your anger straight at him - even better, reason out with him. Best still, be friends with those who are total angels! They will help you in your life and act as a big brother to you.
Hate to confess - I haven't met any friend like that yet.

So whatever you do, remember friendship is important!

Friendship = You and I

What are your experiences about friendship as you grow older?

Never really had a bestfriend in my life. It's hard to get one into my list. I always thought that the person who spent the most time with, always go recess with was my bestfriend. I was not entirely wrong though. I have a pyramid ranking of some sort. the top-most, Best friend. The middle, close friends. The last, friends. My world in p1 to p4 didn't have this. My heart was calm and and open field with flowers where everyone can relax. I did have a teeny problem in K2 though. There's this girl. You could say she's a prep. She bullies in the most horrendous way. Primary one, I became the bully. Kind of. I lost a good friend. Primary two. I met another one but we became stranger - normal friends like. I had a new close friend again. I think it was coconut or sammy and sha sha. (Not real names!!!) They sam and shasha moved out from school. shasha went to KL and sam went to canadian international school. Primary four. I had two close friends.

One was wild and the other was quiet. Too quiet. We stuck togerther like glue. But the glue was not super.
I had a great friend whom I met after road-crossing duty in p5. Jolene. She was often misunderstood and we were almost polar opposites. ButI liked her and a bond almost
too strong to break was formed. Many tried to severe this bond without knowing it and Jolene became confused

and rebellious. Some guided her back and the bond strenghtened again. The bond was close to severed again.
I managed to keep her together with a new person included. Winona. A great friend. But they were a bit too oblivious of my feelings.
This year, A hurricane has arrived. Jolene hangs out with new friends. Everyone else too. I became alone but they didn't realise. Somehow, my resistance of letting go went on a max. Now, The ones whom I trust the most are: Lindsey, Taranee, Jamie and Jolene.

How do you cope with the little upsets or the big upsets?

I take a deep breath and try to calm down. My record of angryness was 12 hours. I most probably act like nothing happened sine saying sorry is a difficult thing for me. I love my friends and I can never be too far from them.
I sometimes cry and give them the silent treatment but I can never ever not say sorry to them. Never. A bit harsh but still, that's my own unique personality.


What is a good friend to you?

A good friend. One who understands and gives advice. One who doesn't make fun of you. One who cares for you. One who'll be there when you need them. One who you can spill your secret and problems, worries, stories, past without having to worry if they'll blackmail you. One who influences you to good and not bad things. And most of all, one who YOU understand and she/he can do all those to you without them worrying about anything.

Your best friend may be right beside you but you do not notice. One may want to be your friend but you do not notice. Your best friend may not be human. A pet or even a non-living thing can be your closest companion there is.

I'm still learning about true friendship so, for now, what I'm saying may not me right and may be very harsh to some.
