What kind (brand) of dye are you using Ken? My standard dose for the HBG pond is 32 ozs of aquashade, wait 24 hours, check and normally add an additional 12 ozs or so. This pond is 2/3 acre, max depth of 10', and average depth of 4'.

I've never come close to achieving what I would call the tidy-bowl effect?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
