While my HBG are feeding well, I did water testing today and have concerns that something may be going badly. This is a 2 yr old, .3 acre aerated pond that averages 8' depth with deep sections to 12'. Testing results follow :
pH = 6.2
total alkalinity = 40
total hardness = below 50
I feel that all these readings are low and need to be raised. What's the best way to accomplish this? I'm planning on adding YP and HSB later this spring and want water quality to be able to support them.
