Thanks for the responses. As time allows, I'm trying to read old posts to familiarize myself with similar problems. Like anyone, I guess I'm looking to be spoon-fed something specific for my exact situation by someone much more experienced. However, I'm realizing each situation is somewhat unique and "trial and error" is almost inevitable.

(1) I failed to mention that I tested a jug of the pond water about three months ago. It settled and cleared in about 3 weeks. However, the pond hasn't cleared after six months.

(2) If gypsum is the appropriate action, where do I buy it?

(3) How does alkalinity differ from PH? I thought the PH determined the acidity and/or alkaline environment. Whew! I knew I should've paid more attention in chemistry class.

Thanks!!
