Quick update. I identified the algae is really Chara and FA forming on top of that. Manual removal was best option then applied Cutrine plus granular to prevent the Chara/FA from re-starting.

I do have question on water clarity. I live in S.E. Michigan and looking for resource that would be recommended to test and/or come out to my residence and assist me in options for improving my water clarity. I've used products as recommended by local company called "The Pond Guy" and their packets of beneficial bateria but haven't seen any improvements. Rather than trial and error wanted to have my water evaluated by pros and then get recommended options. Thanks in advance for input.
