I just saw this and have some questions about the alkilinity measurement. I see post oak, blackjack oak, and cedar trees plus Keller, Tx. USUALLY, the alkilinity level is 20 to 30ppm+ in this area. I am very surprised by a low alk reading in this area. However, you might have a soil strata that varies from the norm. Is the water hole here or? How long did you wait from impounding(rain) until the measurements were taken? You may or may not need the lime and it shouldn't hurt anything but I prefer Texas A & M for water quality samples.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
