They need about 3 tons of gypsum delivered and spread if you have the right equipment, otherwise we said we would help them spread it when we have time. One reputable source would not deliver unless 12 tons or more was ordered. Any recommendations on vendors that sell it near Longview or Athens, TX would be appreciated. As always thank you Pond Boss Forum for the help! Scott Brown Southern Sportsman Aquatics & Land Management Allen, Texas (214) 383 - 3223

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
