Deb, that is the diff. that quote is for HSB. This is majorly diff than sportfish mgmt. Pleae can others quote there desired alk level for Deb so she will think it is not just me. If you read my post I said it needs to be high for HSB. IN fact I'm trying to raise HSB so they will not have dramatic diff in hardness when we stock them.
Deb, no diff. I feel stock/mgmt goes hand in hand. IN fact I state all the time to have a good pond to meet goals...Start off first with good stocking then maintain with good mgmt.
You folks do manage ponds via your product sells!
I understand you do not check the WQ in field that does not mean you can not get a good (more accurate) test kit in the lab. Alk/Hardness should not change in the sample sent to you. Any thought on what I said about ammonia?
