The Great Dye Experiment

I drained about a foot of water out this past weekend. The pond has now cleared to about 2-2.5 feet down. I can actually see some fish, and they are becoming more active. Did I mention, never again? BV. I have to ask - were you the kid that stuck his finger in a light socket to see what happens? We certainly learn from your experiments ;-) -- Bonnie NJ |

The Great Dye Experiment
"Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ... So I was at Big Orange this weekend, and wandered down the pond aisle. They had these blue dye tablets that contain "enzymes" to eat the muck at the bottom of the pond. The idea here being, tint the water and your algae will die. I have about 3000 gallons, so I bought enough for about 1200 gallons. Results... ...either I have less water or these things really work...my water is very disturbingly blue. ...the algae seem to be affected as just after a day and the water is tinted but clearer ...the tables stain your skin ...the fish, frogs, etc do not seem bothered by the dye at all ...not sure I would ever do this again.
