Bill C, thanks for the post. To answer your questions, water clarity is between 6-8 feet, which is fairly stable except after a heavy rain when the water clouds for a week or so. I do not feed the fish. Last year was the first year the pond was finished and the banks fully stabilized. The algae began to show up probally mid June; however I have a windmill aereator, which I stupidly placed the diffuser right on the bottom of the pond creating a problem with suspended solids which keep the pond cloudy until early June when I finally figured out why the water was cloudy. The algae shortly followed as the water cleared. As the pond cooled this fall and the days became shorter the algae problem subsided.
