Good info, thanks. Kind of made my head spin!

The sample was taken mid day. Of the 4 ponds sampled it is the only one below 6. I also must have a bad test kit for pH because I was getting a reading of closer to 8 when I took a sample a month earlier, also at mid day. I will get the Mud sample off to A&M soon and then see what to do from there.

Can you tell from the analysis if the Gyp will work on the muddy pond or is that better just to self test a few different samples? Should I do two tests, one with Gyp and on with Alum to see what works better? If I get the muddy pond to settle might it be at jeopardy of a vegetation problem? In which case should I fertilize?
