OP Chris Jones C Joined: Mar 2016 Posts: 37 Palmyra, IN	I forgot to mention that i have a home test kit. It shows the water having 4 ppm ammonia, 0-0.05 ppm nitrate, 8-10 ppm phosphorus and 7.5-8 pH. I just wanted a more accurate reading to comfirm these numbers before possible treatment (chemically or aeration....) I will pull a few extra jars to see if it falls out or not. It looks like pea soup with about 6" of visibility. I will recheck that tomorrow as well b
