Cecil, btw, you were correct. I did say moss and algae in my original posting. I am truly sorry. I have an overabundance of lily pads and some other growth. I know the carp won't eat the adult lily pads, but I understand they will control any new sprouts.
I had tried manual removal, but that turned out to be a complete LOSER!! It gave me some sort of pond rash that itched like a fiberglass overcoat.
I have been using some applications of 24D along with the help of the carp and it is coming along nicely.
I do know this. Those carps are eatin something. Since their introduction in July that have doubled in size. I happened to catch one on a cricket with my ultralight. Dang thing nearly spooled me.
