On the other hand, water changes take longer and are a bigger production. And it is more expensive. |

I recommend a koi pond instead. Then you can claim the algae's part of the charm.

My wife and kids will probably want a pool, instead, but hey - my money, my rules, right?

convert the pool into a koi pond.
I like aquatic plants a lot, and koi destroy them. So I actually might prefer a goldfish pond with plants. A Koi pond, properly done, needs to be pretty deep. |

I had too many different species of plants at the time, and didn't want to get rid of any. I made a couple thou selling clippings of my plants back when I thought it was a good use of my time to sell them. |
