Well according to test strips these are the results: Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Ttl Hardness 150ppm Ttl Alkalinity Moderate/80ppm Ph 8.0.
The date
stamped on botton is 03/2006 A lot of algae is in the filter
itself...............Thanks
The Ph seems to be really high for a freshwater pond. I keep mine
at 7.4 or below.
My pond, now 13 months old, has always given 8 to 8.5 for Ph. I've
had no problems.
I have some string algae, and the pond planting is going wild! Algae
is a fact of life, I wouldn't worry about it.

Is that the Ph of London municipal water? Sounds like seawater to me.
What's your salinity?
