I am a long time reader, but just now getting to the point to start doing some work around the lake. I have about a 1.5 acre lake that is mostly fed by runoff. It tends to get a lot of the filamentous algae and the water stays murky most of the time.
I am thinking of providing a buffer at the inlet with rock and possibly cattails. But also would like to get a bottom aerator running. I seen the solar aerators that don't need batteries and only run during the day (

Thanks in advance!
