Well, then that's scary for me. I had hoped it would start at given level then get better as rooted vegetation became established. Mine had a very serious FA issue within 9-10 mos of being built. I need to figure out a way to remove and control nutrient inflow. Looking forward to getting my water tests back.

I've done the following:

- at the time of peak FA bloom, I added aeration (double difusers) which I've been running 24/7.
- added beneficial bacteria
- sprayed from the shore
- did and will continue to physically remove FA mats. I could have done better here.
- plan to add planted floating islands in the spring

any other ideas? I've read in here that some people do not run their air continuously. It's my understanding that is done to control water temps for the fish, but what effect does it have on FA?
