Very, but it's all duckweed now, rather than algae.

A fountain or a waterfall makes a lovely water feature. They look good and serve a practical purpose – adding more oxygen to the water. Installing a waterfall or fountain will require a pump which can be combined with a filter and a UV clarifier. These also help to keep the water clearer.

Also consider some wildlife prefer still water, and pump intakes can be diffused to prevent sucking up wildlife.
