I believe it not an algae, but bacterial?

Hi Oren,
Thanks for pitching in on the "cooties".
I thought it was strange to be a white color since I thought algae were
photosynthetic.

I've seen white growth in artesian well water. Never hurt to drink
the water as long as it flowed.

Googling for pink slime, I had to add "pond water" because it came up with
foodstuffs first, this backs up your inference that it's a bacterium:

At the moment, I'm tentatively calling it "Red Slime Cyanobacteria", but
the google images search isn't conclusive yet:

What exactly are you doing with this pond? We remember the thread on
the stone work repairs. Is it for fish or plants?
