My neighboring subdivision never really paid much attention to their ponds until they had a total fish kill and “moss” started plugging up their irrigation pipe. I went and looked at their ponds today. Here is Doc’s pond. ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://i.imgur.com/ZX1QTdl.jpg) ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://i.imgur.com/vNMVOfv.jpg) I’m pretty sure this is chara and and other algae. The other pond was overrun with what I believe is duckweed. I have not had dealings with it before. Can those here confirm my identifications and give me some ideas for dealing with the duckweed. ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://i.imgur.com/FAgQAAK.jpg) ![[Linked Image from ]]( https://i.imgur.com/53nZ9cY.jpg) Neither of the ponds have fish at the moment. Docs pond will after we get the algae under control, but for the moment a nuclear option for both ponds is on the table. As always, thanks for the help.

Brad, did you smell a distinctive musty/sulfur odor from the pondweed? If so, likely chara. If not, perhaps southern naiad.

This pond is about 7800 feet above sea level. The lower one. It smelled like chara. I
