Planktonic, I agree. Filimontous: I hope not! Can you reccomend a product that doesn't cost a fortune? We believe it is 60,000 gallons total, which comes to a lot of money. I did try two bails of barley straw-bagged into 12 bags and had a lot more clairity with that. It is just hard to tell when it has expired. I'm thinking it is because when I move it gray stuff comes out, similar to the same stuff on the bottom that alternates between gray and green in color. I think I am going to try that again as it is the only thing that has worked at all thus far. I did try microbial lift, not nearly enough though. I'm just too cheap to spend that kind of money on something that may or may not work. Any opinions about that? Is it worth it?
Sorry I still have not taken any pictures.
