Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Georgia Giant Put to the Test?

Hi guys,

Not to fan the flames, BUT...when I had my water tested locally, the advice I was given was: IF I am not going to fertilize - there is NO need to add Lime (in an attempt) to increase the total alkalinity above 20. IE - if you are not going to fertilize, then total alkalinity is not a factor.

I know this may seem to go against common practice - BUT, why would you need to adjust total alkalinity IF in affect you were not going to "do" anything with the water anyway? This seemed like a reasonable position to me.
