Looks like it's going to get smelly within a few weeks. Usually if it get's
thicker, the fish will die.

Thanx for sharing Willem!

All that algae reminds me of a time when a rather heavy set friend of mine
was water skiing behind a boat I was driving. We went through a patch of
undisturbed algae that looked like green paint. He fell. When he came up for
air, he was GREEN.

And then he got a nosebleed...

Correct, it takes the oxygen out of the water.

O my God...... Indeed it is very colorful, I believe the Dutch made the
green paint from it. They paint theyr wooden houses green in the old days,
you can still see them in Holland, specially at the Zaanse Schans, a
industrial area with more than thousand windmills to power the machines in
those days.

The Zaanse Schans is a delightful old hamlet on the banks of the river Zaan
with characteristic green wooden houses, charming styalised gardens, small
hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops, historic windmills and engaging
little shops. This enchanting hamlet gives an excellent impression of how a
typical Zaanse village must have looked like in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Apart from the cluster of windmills and houses there
are also several museums, restaurants and a visitors' centre to be found as
well as the possibility of taking a boat trip on the river. The Zaanse
Schans has become one of the top tourist destinations in the Netherlands.

I've been their Wilem and its very interesting, however I never heard we
were making green paint out of that green stuff.
I want to know so I'll try to Google on it;-)

is fabricated from KROOS.
