LoopTech, I am not qualified to give advise, so please do not take my comments as such - I will share my experience to help others avoid some of the mistakes I have made.

One of my biggest mistakes was overstocking CC in <2-acre pond - probably about the same number you stocked in 1/2 acre pond.
We are still trying to remove them from our 5+year old pond, and some are as large as 14 pounds... \:\(
These numbers of CC along with other species, cause nutrient build-up resulting in excess vegetation that is well controlled in our pond.

Personally, I would give call or email Kelly Duffy and/or Todd Overton about the Duckweed problem.
