Your about clueless dude! YOu need aeration and baraclear P-80.....not
what you stated. Whoever told yu that you need to add zoo is crazy.
Must have been Carol Gulley that told you that.......figures.

I don't know any Carol Gulley...however, I guess I know you now, and you
sound like a pompous asshole.


He doesn't know any Carol Gulley, either, but you have him pegged. Sorry
for that.

otoh, he has a point - while zooplankton probably could take care of a
phytoplankton problem there are a whole lot of things that could classify
as zooplankton, and some of them are surely worse than what you have . on
yet another hand, Baraclear is just an expensive form of bentonite - if a
flocculant is what you really need, bentonite or alum would be cheaper
solutions (I'm not certain if alum is considered safe for drinking water).
