Welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice place. Since the cost of a lake mgr is more than you want to spend, you should take the time to do a little research here. Check out the forums here. lots of info about plants and fish and as Bob Lusk says " Happy Water" 40 acres of water is alot of water. And as you research you will find that some fish eat vegetation (Grass Carp) and others (Tilapia) eat algae. Some chemicals kill some plants and other chemicals kill other plants. Lots to learn here, if you want to manage some of the waters.


Do not judge me by the politicians in my City, State or Federal Government.
