I was afraid someone would ask that...There are too many variables in play. Between the multiple algae blooms, periodic inrushes of rain water, me tromping around in it, Aeration timing changes & repairs and so on...there's no way to tell if it's doing anything other than just KNOWING it's doing something.
My water clarity has been around 12" all year long. Possible contributors are...
Lots of crawdads, Possible carp hitchhikers, Floaty clays being kicked up by aeration, and heavy algae blooms.
The good news is there is not more than few hand fulls of FA in the pond. It can only grow right at the surface, typically on the upper most Hyacinth roots and any grass that falls over in the water from the bank.
