Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Water chemistry High Ammonia

I already had that, I was hoping for someone with experience with this same scenario. This lake has been so puzzling. They overstocked the forage two years ago, kept it full for four months last year with 400 gal/min well water, while also pumping out at a similar rate for crops. It would have been better if they had drained, dried and refilled, but they thought they had a bunch of forage present waiting for the bass that I have put on hold. According to literature it should have flushed out? When I got involved the alkalinity, hardness and pH were high, but I did not test for ammonia last fall, as I did not have the capapbility yet. Then in the winter the water chem parameters became normal, then this Spring the ammonia sky rocketed. It appears that fertilizing may help absorb the ammonia, as I origionally was afraid it might raise it? It also is in dire straits of aeration due to its shallowness, which will also help some with ammonia. Thanks for your help. I really like this board, you guys do a good job!
