Yeah Dave. I found out by testing in my pond that just putting Tilapia in there won't clean up a bad FA infestation, but if it's nuked first, then they can keep up with the new stuff that grows. Problem is that the FA can grow long after the Tilapia have died due to low water temps. That's where the other stuff that Bob did comes into play. As typical with ponds, its not a single pronged solution. It needs to be attacked from multiple directions, including the nutrient aspect of the problem.
