ok...infrequent poster but avid reader. I have learned a lot...most of what I have done is wrong...as one of the gurus said its the third, fourth year when you really have to adjust. So learned the hard way about shallow water aeration for winter...but..by measuring all the dead fish learned I was doing something right...lmb 18 - 24 inches.
So the question of the day...probably not that different..from t many others..we get inundated with heavy rains..never before... with excess runoff coming into pond from overflow pipe. Have FA issues, seemingly under control with cutrine plus and se clear...however now have huge plankton bloom...not seen before. can still see 12 - 18 inches down but the question is...does it make sense to put an onion bag of alum in front of the over flow pipe to minimize
phosphorus. Did use some alum a few years back, monitoring ph etc.
This would not be ph monitored as the overflow comes in. Thoughts?
Doing my darndest to answer all the obvious questions ahead of time.
Again, cant thank everyone enough for all the great info

Dick....Offer a sincere thank you to someone today. You just made the world a better place.....unless you teach someone to fly fish...then you really make a difference!
