Keep in mind if you kill the algae, something else likely will replace it to use up the nutrients in the water. A good planktonic algae bloom with a two feet sechi disk reading would be great. But a bluegren algae outbreak might be worse than what you already have.
If it does not get worse than a couple feet out around the edge of the pond I leave it alone. Like was stated, it provides forage for lots of critters that fingerling BG like to eat and provides some cover for new fry.
But if it gets out of hand and becomes unsightly blobs floating on the surface, then it is a bad mess. By that time it is almost too late to treat as the treatment needs to be early before it establishes too much.
I know. I'm not much help. Here was my experience with the stuff. So far this year it has not been too bad for me.
Anything positive about FA?
