Folks,back again. No rain and three weeks after adding the gypsum to the pond has still left it "milky" looking. I was so hoping to clear it up prior to adding fish but have I waited too late in the summer to add BG, FHM, RE and so forth. Temps in Livingston are hitting 100F. When I originally did the A&M test with the gallon of water it said 280# but hat got my sample water cyrstal clear. Am I thinking wrong that if my water is that clear do I stand more of a chance for WT buffet?? Need some help, maybe I am over thinking this thing.
3.5, I'm sorry I missed this post! The goal when clearing a pond of colloidal clay turbidity shoud be crystal clear water by removing ALL suspended solids. If your water has any fertility at all, a bloom will begin almost immediately, often as the water clears from top to bottom. You want he desired clarity, normally from 18-30 inches, to be from a bloom, never from turbidity.
