Sometimes the odor of Chara is not real strong. A picture of it out of the water in a shallow light colored pan and a close picture of it in your hand helps with identification. Three young to middle age grass carp will eat & clean it up in a pond that small. Add another grass carp when the three get 6-8yrs old and you begin seeing more Chara. Also tilapia will eat it.
