MY POND: 50'X100' (1/8 ACRE) dug in 2006. get's deep quick with a trench dug in the middle that reaches 17' deep. i have aeration. i stock bluegill, bass, trout, and perch and couple crappie.

I've never used it though. If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

If I get mats that float up I scoop them out with a net on an extended handle and slop that into a wheelbarrel and dump it elsewhere. However the Chara outcompetes the filamentous algae for the most part. I also drain and dry the pond annually or ever two years. I do get extensive Chara which I rake out once a year.
