Thanks guys for your comments. I distributed the lime the old fashion way. A sheet of plywood on a wide johnboat, shovel on shovel off. Talk about work, man you couldnt pay me to do that but since it was my own lake you do what you gotta do.My water temps are consistently above 80 and still no bloom. I am checking the temp about 18 inches below the surface. Odly enoughf the temp only changes about 5 degrees from 18 inches to 7 foot. Perhaps the lake has not stratified yet. Any other ideas from you guys would be appreciated. I am going to go with the Hydrated lime but will take your advice and cut back and check the Alk again after adding about 150 lbs to my 2.5 acre pond. I will let you no the outcome.
Thanks, Jake
