I never saw a drop in my ph during the process but I was only using test strips for a pool to check the ph. I was also constantly adding hydrated lime during the process. I am hoping to go up and take a look at the pond this weekend.
During the process I didnt see any fish floating or for that matter doing anything else. Lately the only fish I have seen with the water being so brown are the ones the cormarants have been eating. I have been watching them through my binoculars. I have only seen them eating shad up to half a pound. i have been a bit nervous about a fish kill after reading some of the posts on the forum.
