I put the GC in before I stumbled across this awesome forum therefore I am questioning my decision to put so many in. As you stated, time will tell. I have noticed seeing them come around and eat while I am feeding the BG. I'm assuming that I shouldn't worry to much unless they wipe out everything. Again, I haven't seen where they have made much, if any, impact on the milfoil.

What can I do about the water clarity? I really don't want to constantly fight the vegetation. When I purchased the pond the vegetation was nothing like it is now. What happened or changed to cause this? I have not fertilized the pond at all. When I purchased the property it had been neglected for years and you could not even get to the water's edge to fish. Now you can get to the water's edge but can't cast a line in without dragging out pond weeds. Areas that I was able to fish last summer, 2019, are unfishable this year.
