Thank you. We ran into a lot of rock mixed in with the clay during construction.. So I've ended up with a few leaks. So far they are small, and I'm not sure if water isn't leaving the pond and just not surfacing where I can see it. I'm measuring the water drop and time frame trying to see how serious it is. Fixed (or attempted to fix) the biggest known leak by adding bentonite around the entrance to the overflow pipe. So it seems to have worked. Two smaller seeps are apparent though.
I'll be trying Soil Floc when it warms up.

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
