Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Muck Eating Bacteria Experiment

I did a test on a customers property. 4 ponds, all built within 3 years of each other, all about the same size and depth. It was a 2 year test.

#1 Was the control - no aeration
#2 Had bacteria added per mfg recommendations no aeration
#3 Had bacteria per mfg recommendations w/aeration
#4 Was another control - aeration but no bacteria added

The thickness of muck was measured 2x year.

#3 had approximately the same amount of muck reduction as pond #4. Pond #2 had slightly less muck than pond #1, (approx 1" per year) but the juice wasn't worth the squeeze..... Ponds were all 10'-12' max depth.
