Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Can a Pond be to clear ??

Guys, take a look at the first post and re-read the "quite a bit of watershield".

If it's fertilized, and that's put on top of plants that are already growing, there's a good chance that the plants will utilize the fertilizer and not the phytoplankton......

I'd be willing to bet that if a majority of the macrophytes are killed off, then a bloom will start on it's own. If there's a lot of plants in a pond, the water will be clear because the plants are using the fertilizer that the phytoplankton would be utilizing.

Just like John Monroe's pond with a lot of plants in it. He probably has clear water and not a lot of FA in it.
