Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Water chemistry Low D.O event?

Scott, I have removed over 76 pounds of CC since the event. They are good eating, and fat! Getting harder to catch.

The huge numbers of tadpoles have almost all become frogs, so that lessens the biomass some too.

I already had one or two LM bass, and a couple months ago, I put in five more at 5 to 8 inches to get rid of huge numbers of FHM and small BG. I think now I have a net biomass loss in FHM and small BG compared to the LM bass biomass. The CC have not been good FHM and BG predators. They are lazy and prefer pellets.

The creek has no flow now, so no pumping.

Today so far we have removed a few hundred pounds of FA by wading using leaf rakes. I think that helps too, as the FA under the water is black looking. Since the low DO event probably 500 pounds of FA has been removed. The garden is mulched with it.

Edit 7/21: Right at 80 pounds of CC removed since the event.
