Fish Pond Water Suitability
Analysis (Submit 1 quart (32 oz.) per
sample and collect with a clean glass or plastic
bottle. Select a clean spot around the pond, hold
the container under water and let it fill
completely. Be sure there are no air bubbles left
in the bottle. Continue to keep the bottle
underwater as you securely replace the lid.)
Includes: pH, Hardness, Dissolved Oxygen (DO),
Total Alkalinity, Bicarbonate and Carbonate
Alkalinity, Nitrate-Nitrogen, Nitrate, Sulfate,
Total Dissolved Salts (TDS), Calcium, Magnesium,
Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, Copper, Manganese,
Zinc,Iron, and Total Phosphate (P2o5).....$69 |

Complete Diagnostic Evaluation
Test Includes: The Standard Test (F) above
plus all the options listed above.....$90 |
Please Note: A water pH value between 6.5 and 9.0
is considered optimum for fish ponds. If your water analysis
result was less than 6.5, the addition of agricultural lime
(CaCO3) will have several benefits,
such as: increase the pH of the bottom mud, which will
increase the availability of phosphorus/nutrients for plant
and animal production; and help to buffer the pond water to
prevent extreme fluctuations of pH levels.
Even distribution of the lime is important because we are
actually trying to lime the bottom mud and not the water.
If you want to know how much Ag Lime to use, please
follow these instructions: Collect soil from 8 to 10 areas
throughout the pond from a boat using a can on the end of
a pole. Mix the sample thoroughly, and allow it to dry.
Then submit 1 -2 cups for the following evaluation and be
sure to label it as a pond sample.
