I did it but not happy with the results
1) Got 5 - 1 gal samples of pond water.
2) Test ph, below 6.5, hardness and Alkalinity both lowest on test strip and clarity using a white coffee cup on a strip 6" to 8"
3) Number gallon jugs 1 thru 5, put 1 tbsp aluminum sulphate in #2, 2 in #3, 3 in #4 and 4 in #5
4) After 12 jug #2 was as clear as # 5.
5) After doing the math I came up with .6978 ac/ft water
6) On this past Saturday I turned of the pond aerator, dissolved 10# Hy Lime in 20 gal of water in garbage can used a pump, hose and garden water nozzle and sprayed 1/2 the pond, waited and hour for fish to acclimate
7) Dissolved 20# Aluminum Sulphate in 30 gals of water and repeated procedure then waited an hour
8) I repeated steps 6 and 7 on the other half waiting an hour before and between
9) Today, Monday, everything is just as before I started, all levels are the same and the clarity did not get any better.
10) Before putting in the aerator about a month ago clarity was about 2'

Before leaving today I caught 8 CC and 12 of these, what are they? GSF?





Also I saw about 100 what I call Ditch Minnows, lot of pregnat females and nearly as many new born or yoy about 1/4" in the grass along the bank.

Sometimes ponds are like women, a small one takes less to manage and more time for pleasure
