Deb you will like the diigitial titrator. I understand how ammonia kills fish. I worked with ammonia quite abit in aquaculture at UGA. I don;t mean to sound like a broken record...I'm just saying it is VERY rare to get high ammonia in typical sportfish pond.
Gator, I provided the same advice last week. IMHO the main reaons for liming is to raise alkalinity so fertilizer (phosphorus) is more readily avail for phytoplankton produciton. Lime has other minimial side benefits. If not fertilizing I would not spend the time/money to lime.
Ewest so you try to achieve 20 ppm by ag lime additions? I want Deb to see this, so others please provide you desired alk level. I think if you go through old pondboss articles there have been three that state desired level is above 20 ppm. Bruce you have no idea how lucky you are to have such high hardness levels. It is a pain here to just maintain above 20 ppm.
