Looks like my water is'nt to bad. 180ppm and 8.3 ph. I have very clear water down to 4 ft. or so and an overabundant algae bloom. Been treating it with Copper crystals but only a small area at a time. Don't think I'm gaining on it. I can see an abundance of fish and my Fatheads have spawned well it looks like. Fish are growing, maybe I can wet a hook next year. Lots of info on this board. It's great!
