Update on my pond:
It has been 1 week since my 2nd dose of Alum and the pond is decent. Visibility is at 18 inches and holding. It still is a little cloudy so I am getting some more Alum this weekend to get visibility up to at least 2 ft. I am going to put enough to create the floc and stop and see what happens. I am getting 200 lbs, but I am putting in 100 lbs at a time because that is the amount that creates the floc. I'll wait 3 days and if the results are not acceptable, I'll put the rest. I really feel like if I would have put more 200 lbs of Alum on the first dose, my pond would be crystal clear right now, but I don't know for sure and my fish would probably all be dead, so I guess better be safe than sorry. So far the increased visibility has not improved the fishing. I used to go out and catch 10 fish in 30 minutes. Right now I can fish 2 hours and not even get a perch to bite live bait. I think they are still alive since I have never seen a dead fish yet. I don't know where the fish are. They do eat sparingly when I throw feed out, but nothing like they used to. I guess as hot as it is here in Tx, they must be really deep in the middle. I have caught a couple of bass since the water cleared and there color has improved from white to green and you can see the stripe now, so I guess I should be happy with that. BZ, I got my Aluminum Sulfate from a local feed store that orders it from me. I have a phone number where you can get the Alum directly from Houston if you need it.
