Well The Topias got cleaned. Allen helped me treat Georgetopia and Moretopia.

Here is what they looked like before treatment:



Pumping the Alum sulphate and hydrated lime was work, but we have a much better program this year!!



Right after treatment, we could start to see the water clearing!!



After a week of settling, Georgetopia has 18-20 inches of clarity using a sechi disk and Moretopia has 14-16 inches!



I have had an explosion of algae, but that is okay as I have some tilapia in there and I expect it to be controlled in short order!

Now I can see the beds being created in the topias!!




Even better than that, I found a second spawn of tadpoles in Extratopia!!




And to my surprise, I found a lot of fry in extratopia!! They look like CNBG fry!!



I'll follow them and update the thread as I learn more!!

I also have to report that the CNBG in Georgetopia are doing great, if I toss in food, they are on it!!! Their color is coming back as the water clears. It is a great time in Topia central!!
