Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants How to get rid of FA before fertilizing

870,

FWIW I would not worry about it or do anything. Your PH and alkalinity are in line with mine (my alkalinity is closer to 250 -300), (I think) Cecil's and I'm sure a lot of other folks. My pond is still relatively new but I've had a good bloom the past two summers and my fish appear to be healthy. With a high alkalinity number, I'm not sure what you could do to provide a long term adjustment to the PH anyway and might just end up creating a problem.

Just my 1 cent - I am not a pro

Good discussion, I am interested to see what other folks have to say from their experiences.
