Water was pretty clear. Had a lot of pond weed and F/A. About 60%. Last weekend used a weed razor and rake and cut everything and raked out. Hate using Cutrine, but I treated the pond with that and put in a heavy dose of Aquashade. I have been using beneficial bacteria regularly for over a year now. Have marginals around entire pond and some lily pads. Pond is about a 1/3 acre and about 8-9' deep. Dropped a white coffee cup down and could only see about 3'.
