when my students fractionate out soil the last fraction in suspension is
clay and it
takes a good 2-3 days for it to settle so the water is clear. fraid this
isnt going
to do it. Ingrid

I can't say what is working or not working, but my water is getting clearer.
I did dose with calcite again this week, and I put the McGyver Clay Filter
on-line as well. The water is by no means 'clear', it is still orange, but I
am able to see much further down as of yesterday, and the batting is
definately turning orange.

It poured last night, and will do so again for several days, so I expect I
will be back to square one soon. *laugh*

I think I am going to go buy a 55 gallon drum of Amquel, and just keep doing
water changes until it is clear. Water bill...here I come.
