Hey Lunkertrout,

I am in West Central MO, about 1 hour SSE of KC. Welcome to the forum.

Have you tested your water in any way to see where you are at on the chemical level? Does your water need more fertility? May I assume you are looking for a plankton bloom that will color your water greenish rather than the current brown? You mentioned crystal clear water, is that what you are aiming for?

Lots on the forum regarding getting good plankton blooms and different testing methods for your water. I am sure someone more knowledgable than I will be here shortly. Lots on here about water quality in general and how it affects fish productions and populations. Two topics you can cruise through in the forum list are "Fertilization" and "Water Chemistry" Maybe something there will help.

Good luck achieving your goals!
