rainman this is not too much water movement with the shallow depths. Steve I know your system was desigend well by Shaun and while it is a huge benefit as you know it does not fix all issues. Also to fix nutrient issues might take longer than it has. I still think the best course of action is the use of flouridone. Yeah, I know we talked about that and I agree but it's just the $$ and everytime it rains, I have water flowing out the emerg spillway. This pond would never hold water for the time they discuss (30 days+) using flouridone except under a drought. I did find some Sonar at a local farm supply and happened to have some money that week, figured what the heck so I put 24 Oz. in as that's all I could afford; within several days it rained heavily, I'm sure it washed out plus that was less than suggested anyway. Nice waste of $400 or whatever it was.

I once used Sonar at 1/2 strength and it didn't work.  Hopefully you got enough of it in there.

ouch yes that was a waste. If me I would lower pond level and treat next spring with the right amount.

I would have to lower it dramatically for it to work, I get an unbelievable amount of water in to this pond during a rain. I did have it lowered for this stunt I tried, it was as low as I've ever seen it....didn't matter one bit, filled back up in about 2 hours. This pond has become nothing more than a storm water retention pond; but naturally the city doesn't think so. Actually they do think so; but don't care.
