cant give up now
can you gert(rent) a large sump pump somewhere and pump the bottom
like K30 suggested through some old clothes or maybe a quilt bat to get
the residual clay out?

another idea someone I cant remember who had a 300 g stock tank with a
roll of airconditioner bat in it it did a real good job I found the
battin he used at a wholesaler here in alb its not expensive for a 4 ft
dia roll

The bottom is very clean now. I took care of that on my hands and knees
Sunday. What I have now is the stuff that won't come out in the water. Very
fine particles. I dosed again with Calcite to see if it would help.

As for batting...do you think the nylon stuff used for pillows would work? I
hear it's super cheap.
