About a tenth acre, 120,000 gallons: with all the rain September and October, my pond (with dye and bottom aeration) developed an unclear solid look with green color. I added a gallon of liquid floc (good for "68,000"gallons) and kept the aerators running to preserve O2 at depth...In a few hours I had eighteen inches crystal clear. A couple days, turned off the aerators for cold weather, and I got two feet crystal clear. I had no idea I had so much blue dye in the water! So, got another gallon for when it warmed back up, applied that the other day, and now I have about five feet crystal blue clear. Wow! The only fish coming up to feed are bluegills (cold water!), some quite large within eighteen months of stocking. I can see them approach the feed. Nice!

Rapid Clear
I see it for sale everywhere...Amazon and pond supply websites, often under the website brand, but still called Rapid Clear.
