Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants A balanced way to try algae/weed control

I'd shoot for an secchi disc reading of 18"-24" with just a bloom. Getting close to 12" is too close to the ragged edge for my liking with a bloom. The smaller fish could very well be pecking at the left over food that the other fish don't eat. If it was my pond, I'd rather have more Tilapia than needed than not enough. They are easy enough to take out if there are too many.

GC will eat pellets, but will quickly learn not to if caught on an imitation pellet.

I use photobucket, and for some reason don't have to worry about resizing them. I upload them to photobucket right from the SD card via a reader, and copy/paste the link here. It's relatively easy. It was easier/faster before photobucket did their latest upgrade, but I'm not going to complain too much.
