I have what I think to be hair algae in my pound and I don't know how to get rid of it I have a good filter and the water is clear but I have the green slime all around the sides and hanging off of the plants.

Hair algae can be a pain to get rid of. Sometimes more plants will outcompete the algae. Other times, it gets better with a change in seasons. If you want to add chemicals, AlgaeFix is supposed to kill hair algae and is safe for most animals (not crustaceans). My page on algae is at http://www.fishpondinfo.com/plants/algae2.htm and has additional ideas. I usually just ignore the hair algae as it comes and goes.
