pH is too high
With the recent rains, almost 4 inches, my ponds pH has gone up. I would
like to use a natural product to do this than a chemical acid. I was thinking of using a woman's knee-hi hose packed with peat moss, tied off at the top and placed into the top of the bio-falls. Any comments or other suggestions? I understand that it will make the water tea colored but I can live with that as I hope to use it for a week or so and then remove it after getting the pH down to acceptable levels again. I plan on put several water hyacinths in the top of the bio-falls next month. Its currently at 9.0 pH and usually around 7.8 - 8.0 pH without having to do much about adjusting anything since its fully cycled and has become stable. The pond is 600 gallons with a large Pondsweep Bio-falls and Skimmer to create a large waterfalls through a veggie-bog filter in the top area to the lower pond. Regards, Jon Nyhus Glendale, Arizona |
