Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Need some advice. Newly dredged HOA pond.

Flyguy,

Welcome to PBF!

Can you expand a little on this statement. Do you have any interest in fishing the pond? Do you want any wildlife like frogs, turtles, etc. or are just a looking for a clear body of water with little to no wild life?

IMO Bill C's suggestion for algae control is a good one but, keep in mind, tilapia will die each fall if the water temp in your area drops to 45 degrees and, in the absence of predators such as LMB, there will be a lot of dead tilapia floating and/or on the bottom of the pond, at least until they decay or are eaten by scavengers.

Another option in your case, if you don't really want fish, might be using a good pond dye as first effort to suppress algae growth and products like Cutrine, if further algae control is required. I would still stock a minnow like fatheads for mosquito control though.

I'm not a pro....Just my 1 cent
