Hello Pond Boss Team- Trying to figure out what to do next. Visibility is about 18 inches. Water has a brownish color. Lake is 20 acres located in Deep East Texas- lots of pine trees.
calcium 7ppm magnesium 3ppm sodium 14ppm potassium 5ppm boron .06ppm carbonate 0ppm bicarbonate 38ppm sulfate 22ppm chloride 21ppm nitrate less than .01ppm phosphorous .03ppm pH 5.94 conductivity 118 hardness 2 grains CaCO3/gallon hardness 29ppm alkalinity 31ppm total dissolved salts 109ppm BAR 1.1
My understanding is with an alkalinity of 31 that my lake will hold a bloom... I intend to fertilze asap. I am concerned about the pH and if I still need to lime, or there may be something wrong with my water as it appears to want to keep the brown color even when other lakes in our watershed just up the valley from us are blue and clear.
Thanks in advance for any help! I appreciate the many contributors here.
