So this past Monday I dropped off two LMB and samples of water and silt/mud from my small pond at West Virginia University for analysis of water chemistry as well as a check for any heavy metals or other unhealthy stuff in our fish. We've wanted to do this since we bought the farm and are excited that we are finally underway. Our hope is that we can start eating some fish from the pond, especially once I pick up our tilapia from Rainman and get some growth going on with them. Plus, having a snapshot of the water will help me make any needed decisions on changes to help the pond out.

I'll post results when we get them in what should hopefully be another 1 - 3 weeks.
