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!

I envy you. Too dang cold here for feeding.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

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