Go here and look for yourself to see what you are dealing with:
http://aquaplant.tamu.edu/

They give management options for you as well. AFTER you have read the link, determined what you are dealing with (watermeal, duckweed or Filamentous Algae) and gone to class come back here and discuss your ideas for control/management. You have received very good information from the members here. Control and management for duckweed/watermeal and filamentous algae is different, but the underlying problem that caused it is the same.
