Water level very low. Small fish in creek - didn't look like gambusia. Will try and get a photo next time if still there. I used the Smart2 Colorimeter to check the phosphate, as when I used the Visocolor HE test it looked slightly yellowish, instead of a scale between white and blue. If the Visocolor test is to be trusted, it would be low - negligible. It was a very high reading on Smart2.
