RobC Do you have fish in the pond? If so what kind and about how many? What ways do nutrients get in the water? Nutrients cause most of the problems that I think you are referring to. When at the PBoss Conference talk to the Floating Island people. Floating islands are not a magic bullet but a good start in your situation. Plants are going to naturally purfiy your pond water. Plants filter water - nature's way of how its done. Annually harvesting lots of plants that have grown in the pond will be a key component to keeping water clear each year. Killing growth and trying to stop growth will not be your solutions to clear water in that big of a pond. Dye just covers up or hides the problem and does little to solve the real cause of cloudiness. Dye is basically "make-up on a pig"
