Poundage will depend on how much algae / finely divided submerged vegetation you have which does involve acreage. This will determine how quickly the TP get the algae under control. Keep in mind that Jones tries for 6 TP per pound which includes individuals in the 3.5" to 6" range. I know their current supplier. Larger ones mostly males smaller ones mostly females. Larger bass of 14"-17" will get some of the smaller individuals so in reality you may not have 30# that actually survive. Check with Fender's in Baltic-Charm who I am told now sell TP.

I and others have found that it is very helpful if you can get a good portion of the algae removed / controlled before TP are added.
