No - water chems are not understood by many so the field of answerers is limited.

Do yours look like these - see ranges included.

May I piggy back on your question? Our pond Ph is about 7.5, LMB and bluegill. S.E. Texas 1/4 acre.

OK or need to lime?

What is your alkilinity level?


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.

PH of 7.5 is right on. PH of 8.28 is ok but if that spikes up at all which PH does do you could hit a level of concern. IMO anything over 9 is starting to get dangerous. That's just my 2 cents.


The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Where did you send your in to be tested. I would like to have mine done since the fishing has declined significantly.

Thanks

Ideal pH value is 6.5 - 7.5. Your is not at level at alarming level, if it would stay still.
