Notes
Possible dissolved oxygen issue with YSI meter. Please check
Thanks guys - D.O. readings are high, but quite likely correct due to algae presence producing excess oxygen. This is quite typical at this time of year due to extended sunlight and warming summer conditons. Thanks for noticing the high level though - Jarred.
