Pond- 60'x65'. oval, steep slopes to middle about 10' deep.

ph = 8.2+
Alk = 100ppm
temp = 81 at 1'
Water shed soil samples came back with 7.2 ph and LOW nitrate level.

Pond was accidentaly over fert. (funny story)
has cleared up, visibility around 18-20"
water is suprising clear since its a red clay sand mix pond, slightly "brakish", little to no plant life yet. Some algea coming up from bottom now, lots of baby FH's, very active.
any comments/recommendations
Thanks

I had another question, Would it be prudent to add a little fert now with the summer heat? daytime temps hitting near 100 dgrees for the next 8-10 days, or does that make a differance?
