Default Odor detected today

heh, heh... PP doesnt touch snails, at least not in the trials I tried. If it
smells bad it is most likely a dead snail. a big dead snail. Ingrid

What kind of odor? Did it smell kind of like sulfur, rotten eggs? If so, I
think it would be a very good idea to start cleaning the pond now. The
hydrogen sulfide gas is very toxic to fish, so I would try to get the fish
out without disturbing the bottom of the pond, if possible. If you disturb
the material on the bottom, then you will release the hydrogen sulfide. PP
treatment can be used per

to detoxify hydrogen sulfide and reduce the organic loading. I think PP is
very toxic to snails though.
