I need to empty the all the algae out of a 40,000 gallon pond in our yard so I can repair the liner (leaking from the side and bottom). I was thinking of draining it all the way and then I would be left with a goop of wet algae that I could shovel out. But it might be smelly along with the dying fish and then the neighbors might not like that. Or maybe I can use siphon action to vacuum it out along with the water (not sure if it will plug up the hose). Or I could use a net to take it out while there is still water in the pond but the water makes the net heavy and that seems to take forever. Hmm is there an easier way?
