My pond seems to be dying.
I think I need to have my water tested.
Where is a good place to get water tested and what do I test for?

Texas A&M of course! Just had mine tested. Go online to pay and print the form. There are several choices but I believe the basic will cover your needs. It does not tell you dissolved O2. Preferably you can provide a surface sample and lower level sample from away from the shore. There's a charge per sample though. Rinse out a water bottle thoroughly using pond water fill and mail your sample in. Testing takes 5-10 days. The results are provided in ppm along with a score.

Yep, that's it. If you're in an area of pollution risk you may want to test for other stuff.
