I thought I would give an update on the one flush experiment. ML has brought it up and I do want to keep up with it.
I am nearly a month out since using the one flush. I was starting to see quite a bit of algea at the beginning of this post. I cannot prove my results other than photos but it seems that the pond is reacting in a great way. The FA is about 50% of what it was. The algea was a light green color before and now it is a real dark but not dead color green. I never ended up with any floating matts. My visiblity is still great and I have what I would say is a perfect "bloom". I was experiencing what looked to be a non lethal crash every week or so. I have not seen any crashes since adding the one flush. The overall fish activity and pond appearance seems to be getting better and better. I do run an aerator and have not changed anything since I started. My neighbors pond has more algea and floating matts now than it did a month ago so I have pretty much ruled out weather as being a factor. If anyone has any ideas what else could be a factor in the algea going away please let me know. I would greatly appreciaite it.
