Hello all! I need some help, I have a problem with both Cyanobacteria and hair algae in my pond, the pond itself is around 250 gallons, then the garbage can filter is a 32 gallon filled with mostly lava rock then filterpads and plants, and there is a 5 or 10 gallon (Idr for certain) planter before the water reaches the pond. For stocking there are 4 larger 4-6” body size goldfish, one 2” body size goldfish, and two northern green frogs. The fish are fed anywhere from once a week to once a day depending on if I remember or not 😅. The pond is inside a greenhouse and the pump is 800gph.

I’m more worried about the Cyanobacteria than the hair algae as at least the hair algae is only growing in the floating thing with the tiger frogbit.

Any recommendations on how to treat that will be safe for the fish and frogs as well as to prevent the regrowth going forward?
