String algae! It can happen in the best of ponds. String algae grows all of the time but it does best in clear, moving water. The reason string algae grows best in these conditions is that in clear water there is very little competition for nutrients and the movement of the water affords a constant supply of food. String algae also grows well in the winter time.
