Tracy,

IIRC didn't you added a bunch of BioCycle rehabilitator a while back to help tie up nutrients and reduce the bloom? Do you think it did any good?

As you know, I'm no pro so I can't answer your question definitively. I can provide my personal experience. Every year in late summer I have a heavy bloom in my pond. The bloom dies back as the weather cools to visibility of a few feet. I continue aeration for a couple weeks after I see the FA and the bloom drop back and I've had no problems. My bloom is always olive green though, not the lime green you describe.


Good Luck!
Bill

Edit: If I was really concerned like you are, I would get in touch with Bill C. and see if you can hire him to analyze the water and tell you if there is any need for concern.
