Hi Nedra,
Glad to see you back!
I must say that I haven't tested the water this year! It is clearing
(finally) now that the plants are growing beautifully. I noticed yesterday
that I have thousands of baby koi in the large veggie filter - that's
something I was hoping to avoid this year.
Anyone interested in collecting some koi fry?

My pond turned a bright green last week from too much feeding of the
koi. My test kits were throwing me into a panic. Everything was
registering way off the charts. Tried to buy new kits but the only
thing I found in both PetCo and PetSmart were the single bottle which
measures 5 tests in 1.I pitched a holy fit but went ahead and shelled
out the $19.95. This is the best thing to come along in many a year....
for me at least. Anyway my pond took about 4 days to clear but I was
able to measure all the parameters in a single ONE SECOND dip on a
daily basis.
The ease of it ... no bottles, no measuring, etc.
