nomercy OP 10 point Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 3,306 Autuaga County	I have a one acre pond. This is year 4 for us to own it. Last year when weather started to warm the algae seem more present than the first two years. I bought some pond treatment “algae killer”. I never applied it because it cleared up when the em temps got hot. This year it is worse than last spring. It’s slimy goo. Most below surface is bright green. Surface it looks brown green. We had 10-11 carp when we bought it. I only see 4-5 these days. Any help??? image uploading site Don't blame me for your bad decision-

It's a big problem up north because it gets carried in on boats and guys that use waders that don't clean them after using. There's talk about putting in a boat wash in the marina I use in Oswego, NY
