Hey Weldon! Land O' Lakes . . . the rain coming from your direction is
REALLY acid - if it hasn't rained in a while (like during the drought), I've
tested the pH at 4.7! That will really knock the stuffing out of the pond's
pH, especially if you get a couple of inches of it!!

Where might you be near the "phosphate mines"? I'm in Bartow.

Sue, you don't need to tell me about the rain: it *tries" to screw with

water chemistry, too. When the rain comes from "inland" over the

mines, I've had my KH drop by 80 points in a few hours. But you've got a
few
problems going on he new pond, heavy rain, and that (expletive

algae.
