I recently noticed something floating on top of the water, upon closer inspection it has taken over my pond. Not a lot of the surface, but it has coated everything under the water. My water is clear and this "algae" was undetectable Mid September because that is when I released my FHM and looked at the pond every evening looking for live FHM.

So in approximately two weeks it has taken over, there are no fish in the pond but they are supposed to be ready for me to pick up later this month. The only 2 variables are the heavy rains from the Hurricane that washed some sediment and grass in my pond (but no recent fertilization)and a few hay bales that I had in the pond to clear up the water. I removed 3 of the 6 a few weeks ago but the others were hard to get to. I have since pulled them up on the bank to dry out before I remove them. The hay bales do smell strong and obviously are breaking down.
