Note to all. I went in and changed the title of this thread to include Chara to help those interested in Chara management.
Be aware the Chara can spread fast; IMO really fast. Ideally leaving about 1/3 of it present does create habitat and competes against filamentous algae. One thing that reduces the depth Chara grows are the pond dyes, but dye also reduces phytoplankton and fish growth which can be compensated with good quality fish pellets.
