Holy pH Batman!! I took a water sample after a 2" gully washer that flowed a bunch of runoff into my very stable pond. It has always been ~ 6.5-6.7pH. pH was below 5.0. Alkalinity came out as 0 - It was pink before any reactant was applied - aka 0ppm. Scared the shit outa me as I just stocked 2 days prior. I thought maybe that Crescent Pond seep thru the spoil bank that flowed into this pond really wrecked it. Just about panicked - went and got 500# of aglime (All they on-hand at the time, Thank God) and put in the steam flowing into the pond - called in an order for 2T more...of AgLime and came here to PondBoss saw the post above between the order and delivery - read the above. CNX the order. Retested a couple weeks later.... Thanks emactxag!!
