As rainman said "Don't be surprised or disappointed if your clarity lessens considerably in the next week or so. The new light penatration will allow a healthy bloom to start now, but it will be a beautiful, healthy green color this time."

I will forgo the 8' depth of visibility for a green healthy pond. Actually seeing the fish biting the hook takes all the surprise out of the catch!

I'll settle for the 3' to 4', its better than the six inches I have had for 3 yrs

Sometimes ponds are like women, a small one takes less to manage and more time for pleasure
