Hi Bill Cody- THANK YOU as well for your attention and reply.
Right now just fighting a bad case of algae that got away from me and some duck weed. The muck is building up. there is no other plant growth issue the water is normal pond green/brown, clear from the shoreline out to about 6' maybe? . When I had hired guy who came out to spray, to prevent the algae last year, it responded and stayed in control. Then i had a guy come to me to convince me that the spraying of algae was just killing it and sinking to the bottom. I needed aeration in addition to the treatment ,in addition to bacteria to attack the muck. He worked up a bid of over $7,000 to install Airmax w 3 diffusers in addition to him buying chemicals to deliver for ME to treat.
I start to research on my own, and I have landed on the fact that, while he was shady and greedy, I don't think he was wrong. I want a healthier pond for the fish and the turtles. Peggy B Stilwell, KS
