Hello,

I have a pond (125' x 300') that has brown water. Lots of organic material around, peat, and clay.

I tried a little experience with a couple of samples of the water. I applied Ag lime to one and gypsum to another.

I was hoping someone could help me interpret the results? I thought I had a picture of the samples before treating but I might have forgotten. The water clearly had plenty of suspended and/or dissolved clay in it. But now, couple of weeks after treating, one sample is clear but very brown tinted (gypsum) and the other (lime) is mostly clear and untinted.

Does this tell us anything useful?

Thank you!
