Road Trip to Tri-Cities
Gene, Phyllis, Bruce, John T., Kyle, DianaLynn, Frank, John M. drove to Richland on Saturday morning to join Carmen and
Gunar at Ron and Gloria's pond for a review of some of the changes Ron has made to their pond, filtration and quarantine facilities.

| The old filter system was impressive--the new one is even better! |

Gloria manned the barbecue, smoke and all, to cook up hamburgers and hotdogs for the group - a wonderful potluck lunch
was a welcome addition to the workshop.

Hi-Tech dissolved oxygen - Ron demonstrated his YSI meter and compared dissolved oxygen levels in his pond and quarantine
facilities. Gene and Phyllis had brought a sealed jar of water from their koi pond to add to the demo - and Bruce brought
his Chemetrics DO chemical test kit for comparison. Andersons' water that had tested at home with the Chem test had
resulted in a 90% reading; Ron's meter read the sample of water at 93-94%.
Phyllis found the website WaterontheWeb.org and downloaded this chart that Bruce used.
