I've never claimed to know much of anything but I was also expecting some nitrates as well. Every test for both sites within the lake reported identical numbers across the board. Is that normal for everything to be so uniform especially if one sample was taken so close to a source like the fish cages? Would sample depth have made a difference? I was only able to go down an arms length out of the boat. For the Ortho Phos and Phosphate tests what values would be considered significant and what would you define as "normal"? Also, the Ph values were around 8.8 if that helps with anything and the turbidity tests were very low. Thanks,
Mike
