I thought I would update on the results so far of the bacteria I was working with throughout the post. I was a little concerned with algea take over this year because we had a very unseasonably warm winter. Very early spring I had heavy algea all over the pond floor. I decided to let it go and see what would happen. I DID see the tripoid carp eat it due to the low vegitation so early in the year. Once the water has warmed to about 50 degrees the water started to clear and the algea started going away. I have very little algea growth what so ever now. I have not seen any duckweed or watermeal at all this year. The fish look great and not a one was found dead this year. This is the first spring since adding the septic cleaner bacteria to my pond and I have seen amazing results for the $150.00 I spent to add it. If I remember correctly the price for pond labeled bacteria was at least twice the price for the amount used. I can now see sand along the edges of my pond and I am greatful to all of you who helped me along the way with you insite and knowledge.
