Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Water Color = Tannins?

I have not expanded my hobby to that point yet. I should do something regarding water and soil test this year, but I have not bought any test kits to date. The pond was tested by the conservation dept prior to de-mucking and I remember the pH to be basic, but still within good range for farm animal use (it not longer sees any farm anmal use). I assumed the test results would fluctuate as the pond settled in from being dug out and I have not been too concerned, but it's about time to get a hold on it as I will be stocking fish next year.
