That makes sense Bill, and is it also true that eel grass is susceptible to being eaten by some fish, i.e. grass carp, and some turtles before they are able to flourish? I plan on getting Tilapia next spring to control filamentous algae. Will they bother eel grass? I have some areas of my pond that has no plants or algae that I would like to plant the eel grass. It's a clear area that is around 2-3 feet deep.
Why do you have high Alkalinity liquidsquid? Is there limestone nearby?
