i have a 50x100 approx. pond that jumps quickly to 15-17' deep. pond was excavated in aug. 06 so it's new. i' ve read threads and searched till my eyes hurt and i think i've got FA type of algae... it's stringy and covers the brush and flows like a flag under the surface. i'm in mid michigan and i assume this stuff never dies as it's there thick this spring just like the last time i seen it before freeze up... i do run an aerator/diffuser in the 12' range. i'd like to get rid of some of the agae and thought that cutrine sounded good from my readings but i have recently put trout in the pond and i know they are very sensitive to ANYTHING... so does anyone know if cutrine is safe to use in a trout pond? thanks. matt.
