Hello..
Our 3 acre pond, which is 20 ft deep in the center, is in it's second full year. We limed heavily this past winter and fertilized when the water temps hit 60. We had an excellent bloom. BG and LMB are thriving.
May and June brought a lot of rainfall to NC on a daily basis. The new water from the watershed was more than our siphon could handle on several occasions, causing some good top water to be lost over the spillway. The siphon worked non-stop on many occasions.
After this period of heavy rains, we have lost our bloom. The pea green top water is now a rust brown color. Water temps are 78 degrees. We have fertilized again now that the rainy period is over. In short, does anyone have suggestions as to the brown water color? It's not muddy water. Dead bloom? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance....WS
