Thanks -

It sounds like I should probably check the alkalinity of the water first, before I try the copper sulfate. I should be doing that anyway, but not sure what the base level should be.

I have a large fountain in the middle of the pond that I haven't turned on this year yet, but I'm guessing that will help with water aeration/oxygen levels that might be lowered by killing off the algae.
