So far the phytoplankton bloom has done well with a little fertilizer. I am keeping the visibility around 24 inches without too much problem. The water was clear from mud by the time it filled last spring. It may be difficult to maintain a good pH and algae bloom until after the spring rains due to the run off. If it is, I should be able to pick it up in the summer when the run-off drops. I already have 2-2.5 pound CC stocked as fingerlings in April. Of course the feeder has not hurt!!!
I don't know about the drywall. Seems like the paper would be a problem.
