Ok thanks to all the great advice provided by you fine folks, I've got the fluridone on the way. I also have some algicide and dye on hand for the bloom that I think will come after the watermeal gives up a little sunlight to the water below. My question is should I put the algicide and die in now or wait till after the fluridone has time to do its thing ? The pond was about two acres before it was drained down to about a 1/4 acre and allowed to grow up for the last 6+ years. I got the dozer to clean up the over growth and plugged it a month ago its now about a 1/2 acre, and its spring feed.
