Kelly, it sounds looks like the latter after your explanation so I will fertilize. I had bought some additional aluminum sulfate for one more treatment but will not do it until a later time if at all. My water has cleared approx. 12 to 18 inches and this is fine with me after seeing what real clear water tends to lead to. ie, Marshell Williams Also, I don't want the water too clear to make it more difficult for the birds to hunt on my shoreline. The water primrose is being controlled by a hard garden rake at present. Hope we can keep it that way. Thanks for you insight.

Bill
