I received my water test results back from TAMU. I have a decent idea of my plan of action based on my reading through this forum and pond boss magazine. Aglime the pond into submission. I would still greatly appreciate yall's input on how to get the pond chemistry to optimum levels. Thanks

See this SARC Fact Sheet that goes with the water test

Does your pond have a bloom and are you fertilizing ?
