I would say that the thick floaty scum has not increased in mass since yesterday morning or least not much. Total pond coverage by the thick stuff would be about 2-5% while the gray oil-like scum pushes 90%. I was also able to net out about 100 sq ft of scum.
The readings seem to be stable to me. The DO shows a slight increase as the day grows old and the PH is pretty flat.
Can anyone read anything interesting into my data?
