We had some heavy rains over a month ago, and my bloom went away and my water clarity went from about 14 inches to a about 2.5 feet. I've got a bucket of the PondBoss recommended Southern Excellence fertilizer floating in my little 1.5 acre pond, but not much of anything has happened over the past few weeks in regards to a bloom. I've thought about using some more prosol water soluble, to boost it along, as thats what I used initially to develop my bloom this year. However, there is some kind of new red particles that are developing on the surface, looks like the green bloom when it started only its red. Shan mentioned in another post that this is some form of microscopic algae. I had it last year before I renovated the pond, and it usually is only there in the early morning to noon time, then its mixed all up by the wind I imagine. There is also every couple of days a slight hint that the normal bloom is attempting a come back, but nothing has developed like it did earlier in the year. There is also the beginning of some foam type looking material developing on the surface and accumulating along the shoreline, it gets looking quite thick and is a mixure of yellow and brown.

So any ideas on what I'm seeing and any suggestions on what to try from this point on?

Thanks

John
