Sunny day, no wind. Some red growth. Noticed when dragging sample bucket thata fine green 'sediment' was stirred up. Tried to avoid when sampling.

Noted Dissolved oxygen was very different to the adjacent billabong. This was noticeable immediately after adding chemicals with strong colour and precipitateformation. Sodium thiosulfate not added until all precipiate removed.
