When you do your pp treatments, what ppm do you shoot for? I heard 2 ppm is
good for removing organics. ~ jan

I do not go by any set PPM rate. I go by what a demand test indicates
is needed to obtain good water. It can have a good degree of variation
depending on actual organic load. 2ppm is however a safe starting
point, which is not usually harmfull for fish but on the wame hand it
may not oxidize all that needs oxidizing either.

This is my situation, at the Demo Pond there is a 1-2 inch fluffy mulm
layer. You step on it and it goes poof away from your foot. Because of
thieves we can't grow the fish large enough to help move it to the bottom
drain. I'd like to add it dry to the 55 gallon barrel (pump chamber) so am
wondering how much for 2 ppm for 2000 gallons. (And I'm being very lazy, as
I could figure it out, but if someone already knows, why tax my brain?) ;-)
