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

Ric and Bill,

Thanks for input. I appreciate the fact that this is a complicated question and that is exactly my point. Adding lime is a very common practice in my area. It is done as a matter-of-fact in most ponds. I won�t throw out the common wisdom line, but it is very prevalent. Not to mention the fact now would be the perfect time to lime the pond. But, when a biologist who does this for a living and has managed ponds for 25 years, says �there is no need in my opinion��I start to wonder, why am I doing this?

2 more considerations:

1. This pond has maintained 12� to 18� visibility all year long. Adding lime will make the water even clearer, right? This seems to be setting me up for the dreaded dye option...?

2. I will be on a year-round feeding program for the GGs. Should I be concerned with plankton blooms with the feeding program?
