please excuse the extended delay in answering, but I went through the disgusted and "don't want anything to do with it period"....so, meanwhile, I have been liberal with the cutrine plus and the aquashade, haven't had a floating raft problem in at least a month, started feeding the panfish I stocked last fall and they are actually feeding as of yesterday; regraded the pond edge that was so eroded after the hurricanes last year and sodded the whole perimeter back 10 feet from the edge; planted 72 15 gallon wax mytles along the dam and installed drip irrigation lines to each.....bottom line, the pond is acutally looking pretty decent.

Again, thanks to all who have offered suggestions.
