i have too much fil. algae for my taste. i'm sure my several unseccessful attempts at establishing a bloom this year have helped (hurt). i believe i understand the process of chemical applications from previous posts and the "book" (how to control...); but has anyone had any success with physical removal of the floating mats prior to, or instead of a copper treatment? by the way, my pond is 7.5 acres and much of the shoreline affected, so a swimming pool net just won't work. jb

Take great care of it, or let someone else have it.
