I have a 1/3 acre pond stocked with bass and bluegill. Every year I fight pulling algae out with rakes and nets but find that is so time consuming to keep up with. This year I am planning on trying a 3" trash pump to suck it out and run it through some sort of filter or screen to let the water drain back in so I don't end up just emptying my pond in the process. Has anyone tried this method and if so, do you have any pointers or things that have worked for you? Also, I've been reading up on tilapia, but seeing somewhat mixed results on their effectiveness for eating algae.
