i have a small pond 9' deep at its deepest point surronded with 5 or 6 very large shagbark hickory. the water color is dark brown. no tests done on it yet. pond has CC and BG in it from what i can see. would like to add some LMB and maybe some YP. would the shell husk from the hickory nuts cause the water to be so dark? do they cause any problems? its sprind fed. lots of cattails and grass around the perimeter that i am working on removing, just started spraying some with aqua star.
thanks for any info
