Its been a couple years since I applied it to my pond, but I remember it took a very small amount. I remember its more about the total area you are trying to spray and not so much a ratio of so much product to so much water. I have it wrote down at home. Maybe one of the more knowledgeable guys will chime in if you have questions. I run aeration in my pond 24/7 all year round and also use pond dye in the summer. I think this has helped a lot with the weed problems also. When I bought my place about 5 years ago, the coontail was so thick you couldn't even fish it, your bobber and bait would lay on top of the weeds. Come to find out, the "stocked pond" wasn't so stocked. It took some hard work the first couple years to get the pond cleaned up and stocked, but its nice to finally be able to enjoy it. Especially watching the grandkids catch fish, makes it all worth it.
