I don’t think it’s an ecological thing, as my water was always on the lower end of the ph scale (6.2+/-) then I started messing with clarity & chasing that perfect # and just jacked everything up. Is there a good way to “start over” and give myself a blank slate without draining it? Draining it isn’t an option unless I use multiple pumps and just not practical as it is wetland fed from below. I think the incorrect hydrated lime I used is the only logical occurrence that could still be raising the ph.
