Most ponds have increasing fertility as they age. Now I see two posters are saying their ponds are clearing. I feel like I am missing some important variable.

Flame,

Why do you think your water visibility was getting better this year?

My best guess is that the nutrient load is tied up feeding aquatic vegetation rather than an algae bloom.
