I think adding fertilizer may be relative. I once added enough
nitrate of soda to turn my pond black, or at least very dark, and rid
itself of a really unbelievably bad mess of string algae. However I'm
one who looks to smart people like yourself to figure things out and
impart wisdom that I can use and I appreciate your thoughts.
