Disappointingly, we still don’t have any major improvements in water quality to report. Ammonia level has continued to creep up (0.42 mg/L, pH 7.7) and oxygen levels remain relatively low for the time of year (6.2 mg/L, 54.6 % sat. at 9.7 °C). Water clarity is continuing to improve.

All looking good on the water chemistry front! No signs of any indicators of pollution and the oxygenation is good, even after the weed cut in early September. Water temperature is still high for the Read more…
