It had gone stagnate. The suggestions of bleach will kill things but once
the bleach has dissipated the bugs'll come back. Running the feature to
keep the water oxygenated will be a better long term solution, along with
cleaning out any gunge from the bottom of the tank after leaf fall in the
autumn so any bits don't sit there and rot.

But isn't decking and water features so last century?
