I stocked my bream/bass to an unfertilized rate so they are getting plenty to eat especially with the two feeders supplementing Aquamax.


You know there is a thread about getting a bloom after swimming in the pond. Its my thoughts that the nutrients are bonded and combined in the bottom of the pond. Swimming and mixing up those nutrients kicked the bloom even though the nutrients are neutral charged they are still available for biological consumption. I am a very big believer in that neutral charged compound fertilizers are more effective then high charged compounds. The hard part is getting a high electrical conductivity with out burning or damaging the biologics.

Cheers Don.
