I agree with Dave, shading the water is counter productive if growing lots of fish is your goal. you can have a balanced pond with Aquashade but you will not be getting all you can out of your total pounds of fish. I have seen a few ponds that went from feritilized monthly to Aquashade. simply put, the fish looked terrible. I never use Aquashade in sportfishing ponds, only industrial ponds or ornimental.
