Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Fertilization Fertilizer vs Filamentous Algae, More/Less Fert?

I've had two experiences with my one acre pond eliminating FA.

POND ONE:
1. With 18 grass carp that virtually eliminated most underwater plants which would use up nutrients that would fuel FA, and make FA worse,,,I used.....

2. 20 KOI, 6 Israeli carp and to a lesser extent Channel catfish that ate the FA.

3. I had large mouth bass that kept the KOI and Israeli carp numbers exactly to the 20 KOI and 6 Israeli cap over many years so that carp didn't take over the pond.

The only reason I don't have this setup today is a winter kill eliminated all of these fish. So I started over with a new pond concept to eliminate FA and have a clear water pond and FA free pond.
