I joined this forum back in March, but never introduced myself. I live just north of Bowling Green Oh and have a +/- 3/4 acre pond that is used for recreational fishing and swimming. The pond is about 12 years old but was not stocked until I purchased the property 9 years ago. Current stocking is LMB, bluegill/sunfish of various variety, catfish and maybe some perch still living though I haven's seen them in a few years. I seem that a time goes on, the pond is becoming more work as evident this year with cloudy water and many algae blooms. Water clarity is important to me as well as not having algae scum all around the edges of the pond. This year I am trying GreenClean as my primary algaecide and it is fantastic and expensive but I think it is better than coppersulfate. I am looking forward to any articles about using blue talapia to help control the algae. Enough for now, time to rake the beach.
