View Full Version : Phytoplankton/zooplankton

I have a phytoplankton problem in my half-acre pond - as I use this water
for household supply, I'd like to try to clear it up. I've been told that
zooplankton will help clear it - can anyone tell me where I can purchase
that to put in the pond?
Thanks -
Gene

Your about clueless dude! YOu need aeration and baraclear P-80.....not
what you stated. Whoever told yu that you need to add zoo is crazy.
Must have been Carol Gulley that told you that.......figures.

=========================
Call your agricultural extension agent. If they can't help they will send
you to someone who can, someone familiar with your climate and local (pond)
water conditions.

Frugal ponding since 1995.

He doesn't know any Carol Gulley, either, but you have him pegged. Sorry
for that.
otoh, he has a point - while zooplankton probably could take care of a
phytoplankton problem there are a whole lot of things that could classify
as zooplankton, and some of them are surely worse than what you have . on
yet another hand, Baraclear is just an expensive form of bentonite - if a
flocculant is what you really need, bentonite or alum would be cheaper
solutions (I'm not certain if alum is considered safe for drinking water).
