How do you figure the ammount of Lime for your pond (assuming here that
it is some sort of gallons/ammount thing)?

Do you put it inline with your filtration or do you apply it to the
water itself or?

Thanks in advance!

=============================
If you're trying to raise alkalinity it's safer but slower to use oyster
shells or dolomite limestone gravel. Using ground limestone (powdery)could
raise the PH too quickly and too high.
