TJ,
I'm not clear on what you mean. Does "popping" mean eliminating what's in the pond now? What do "f" and "m" mean? I found the PBF list of abbeviations in the past, but now I can't find it. What would I cull, and why would it be necessary to stock more BG? I know the right way to manage this pond is to drain it, seal it, and begin the process of establishing beneficial vegetation as it's refilling. But that's expensive, I hate to kill the fish I have in there, and and while all that was going on, I would have no place to fish.
