Well guys the UAT bag went to my Boy's High School to be looked at under a microscope to see exactly what it was. Mike Danchak made this suggestion just to make sure we knew what we were dealing with.

Well it turns out that most of it was dirt. The Biology teacher who looked at the contents of the "gunk" under a microscope said while there was some algae, most of it was dirt. His descrition came to be that he felt the algae content was no more than 20% on hte stuff in the gunk.

I found this definitely interesting. the end result is it wasn't a large algae bloom as some of us suspected. What does this mean, well nothing really, it is just more information for the puzzle. I will continue to work this issue until I am sure what is going on.

I will keep you informed.
