Hi. Water test results are in, and at first i thought i was a little high on the Phosphorous and Ammonia. But then, i looked again and had missed the "0" in the optimal range. This puts me over 10 times the optimal limit on the phosphorous and ammonia. I had been looking at some bacterial products to try and neutralize the phosphorous, but am wondering with 10 times that recommended range am I wasting my money? My pond is just under an acre surface area, with an average depth around 6 feet. Water has been green for about 2 years now and once the weather warms up I'll be getting the algae blooms. trying to avoid it this year if possible...
Optimal Range pH 7.6 units 6.8-8.2 Total Phosphorous 0.36 mg/l <.025 Ammonia NH3 0.28 mg/l <0.05 Nitrate NO3 ̄ 0.4 mg/l <10 Nitrite NO2 ̄ 0.03 mg/l <0.5
