      Regarding run-off and feedings you're the best judge of what's going on, but watching the pics and videos I'm still pretty confident that the massive amount of biomass introduced by all those trees and shrubbery, accounts for a huge part of your problems with excessive nutrients leading to the algae-bloom.

      I would remove as many as possible of the trees, and if I suspected fertilizer run off too, to add to the problem, I would remove them all.

      But that's just me.
      Hi Eikåse

      Sorry for the late response. I've been busy working on my YouTube-channel

      I dont feed the fish, and I do not think run-off is the problem. But to some extent the biomass from the trees where a problem (not any more ). But I'm pretty sure that the real problem is something else. I found an article that can explain it better than I can in English

      "During the summer months, when water is warm, oxygen can be consumed faster than it can be replenished. Ponds and lakes can become "stratified", with warmer oxygen-rich water laying on top of the cool, oxygen depleted water that is found at the bottom of a water body.
      Such conditions inhibit function of beneficial bacteria and their breakdown of organics, Muck. Accumulation of organic sediment, muck, increases and adds excessive nutrients for plants and algae to grow. This thermal stratification also makes conditions favorable for the production of noxious ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases, giving some water bodies a not so pleasant odor.
      Vertex® Aeration Systems create a vertical current in the water, using the rising force of millions of small bubbles to entrain the water column, "turning the water body over" and allowing oxygen to be absorbed at the surface.
      By moving the lower oxygen depleted water from the bottom to the surface, the thermal stratification will be eliminated. Oxygen levels throughout the water column will increase as will the function of beneficial bacteria. Swings in oxygen levels will be stabilized, preventing fish kills and creating a healthier envirornment for fish."

      I plan to install a b
      ottom or diffused aeration systems this summer. Exciting times

      OR Splash system (which might be a better idea) beloved?, in that O2 is split apart and atomically, recombined within a fraction of the water surface area.

      If I remember correctly there is mobile `SPLASH` device re large bodies of water which powerfully pumps enormous volumes of water continuously...

      Still sweetie, you would need to monitor `Water Quality` especially DO, to reassure yourself conditions are `optimal for your phish`
