Thanks esshup. I'm not thinking the FA is "all bad" due to our shortage of plants. Was hoping that the GSH may use a bit of it for spawning while we are working on the plants we really want to be there. Understood on the don't want bad reviews part. I don't think I would get stuck in that trap. Anything "you" do after seeking advice and then doing "your own thing" puts the responsibility back on the guy that made his own plan.
If we get the pond plants going however......would likely be much more aggressive on FA control methods.
My guess on the algae in the pics above look right (planktonic or phyto vs FA)? We aren't seeing mats floating "yet" but from 04.07.24 to 05.12.24 there seems to be more and more each time I'm out there. Not a bad thing either way....water is still new. Just want to make sure I'm on the right path with my observations.
