Greg, Thanks for the reply, I need to get with you on the fertilizer. I am concerned about my alkalinity. I purchased the Cole Palmer kit talked about here. I added 10 tons to my 2.5 a pond the week before Christmas, prior to the 10 tons my alk was 15. Checked it this week 10 weeks after the addition of the lime and it is only up to 20. Should it continue to go up over the next several weeks? Should I add more lime? I want to make sure that I get a good bloom this year. Thanks for all your help. Your participation on this site is appreciated by many.
