Welcome to the forum. I might be able to help you with a thing or two but not so much when it comes to treating algae/coontail using chemicals. Now as far as aeration I can tell you that most of us in Texas run our diffusers only at night during the heat of the summer because of the possibility of over heating our water by running air 24/7. I run mine using a timer where it starts up at 10pm and runs till 9am. I would also suggest you go really slow when starting up your system. There can be deadly gasses that lay in the deeper water so start slow. I would not double the time each day as suggested by some. I have killed fish by doing that so I have learned to start up very slow each season. It looks to me that you have done some research but might need a little more when it comes to grasscarp and Tp. I think you can add Tp now because they like warm water but most will not stock fish in the summer months due to stressing the fish to where they die. And if I was adding chemical I would hold off until I made sure I do not kill off all my fish by adding chemicals during the summer. I would hate to buy them only to then kill them with chemicals. From what I understand one has to be really care full when adding those chemicals during the hot summer months. If you have not looked into all the information here then go to the forum list and click on things like aeration, plantsand types of fish to choose. I hoped I help out a little, if not I am sure others will drop in to help more. And we are happy to see you here.
