Thank you both! Now I am really curious as to the readings I had in the lab. I am sure a large majority was decomposition of algae during transit, but with not knowing the history of Gator's pond (original stock, feeding program,...), I wonder out loud why there should be anything over .1-.2 ppm based on the factors Bill stated above. Hopefully Gator reads PaPond's suggestion about a repeated test with an aquarium testing kit. An onsite evaluation would be a really good move at this time. Gator hasn't posted lately, and I am hoping he has not been too overwhelmed. Everyone here has presented alot of good points, but there have been a truckload of them for him (and me) to absorb.
Bruce- Is aluminum sulfate also used to clear muddy water?
