Phos and ammonia would not give reading on Smart 2 even though test solutions indicated high levels of each. Assumed due to blank being a muddy colour even after filtering. Unfitered sample gave 0.0 for oxygen and filtered sample gave2.5 mg/l. There was no flow in the creek and the sample was taken from a pool about 20m northeast of the usual site.
