Hey, sorry about the delayed response, fellas... was kinda preoccupied with the holiday family activities.

Anyway, my water is still really murky. I added 250 lbs of dolomitic ag lime a few days ago (this is a mini-pond maybe 1/10th acre) hoping that I'd see some response, but nothing changed. We did get a pretty steady rain yesterday for several hours resulting in the pond spilling over the levee for a bit. It's completely full as a result.

So here is the current status: average secchi depth is less than 8", water temp is 92F, pH is 8.2-ish. Given the pH, I'm not going to waste adding the other 250 lbs of lime at the moment and will save it for future use. I guess I'm going to hold off until I get better filtration vegetation around the pond edges and reassess using something else to clear the water (someone suggested gypsum). I'd hate to spend money on clearing it up only to have the first rain undo it.

Cheers,
Clayton



That notch you see on the secchi line at the surface is the 6" mark.
