Underwater vascular plants will sequester nutrients and also help reduce FA growth.

Harbins is good to deal with. They also have a facility E of OK City.

How far away are you from Midwest City? I might be swinging down to see a friend there this summer.

I'm 2 hours North of Midwest City. PM me if you decide to come this way, I'd be glad to offer you a good home cooked meal for some expert advice. I've got fresh farm raised pork or beef. I also have plenty of fish in the freezer from some recent trips. smile

Thanks for the reminder on the Secchi disc, I have one and have not used it this spring. I'll get a reading this weekend and add a column for that in my sheet.

I have Southern Naiad and there was some American Pondweed but the area where it was growing is dry land due to the lack of pond filling type rains. We've had some rain but it's just coming slow and steady so soaks in.
