Lucky, I think it might be a challenge keeping out the algae if you are growing the bamboo in it. I'm not an expert, I just think common sense would dictate that. How long have you had the bamboo growing in the fountain? I'd think that after the algae has established itself the bugs and gnats will follow.

You might want to talk to someone at a nursery like Armstrong Garden center. I'm sure they've had customers who've had this problem before. Good luck.
