March secchi reading were 31" as spring approached. April 1st added 6 lbs of water soluble pond fertilizer in this 3.5 acre pond.. Within 10 days sushi readings went to 18" of green water and by the 20th of April I started seeing small flakes of green algae that was floating on the ponds surface. Lots of green flakes, this did not look to be Duckweed because it just did not look like duckweed but was very small flakes like glitter might look like and it fell apart when one would attempt to feel it. So I figured it might be filamentous algae. That lasted for about a week and then heavy rains came and now this week the sushi readings jumped up to 34" but water is still pretty green.
I am feeding at three TH feeders @ 28 seconds each per morning and 28 seconds in the evening on two feeders and 10 second total on the 3rd feeder. Fish food is gone in less that 2 minutes with CNBG just tearing the water surface up.
So I am thinking another fertilization treatment with 1 lb per acre or 3.5 lbs.
What do the experts say?

Thanks
