And I do have a pair of geese that frequent my pond daily. I just bought a pellet gun and hope that will deter them after getting hit a few times. I scare them off now but they come back a little bit later. So what is the best way to control the nutrient levels? I just started reading threads on all of this. Before I was worried about getting it stocked and a beach and just thinking about how fun it will be. Now reality sets in and I’m realizing there is a lot more to it than just enjoying a beautiful pond! I couldn’t believe that algae was all there at ice off. I could see it all forming below the ice once it started to melt a little.
