Glad your nitrie is coming down the detox is obviously doing something ❤👍🏾

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers cueball and a massive thanks to you and dorris for the detox ☺️👌👍👍

[@jiffsterkoi]

Glad you got it under control mate yea my Lillie’s used to be Awsome but I thinned them out last year and the fish just destroy the plant I have left Fish looking really good some size on some of them now mate all the best Jiffster👍🏼👍🏼

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers Mike yeah mate I always remember you having the best lillys on KZbin but yep the bigger the fish get the more the destroy them . I reckon this will be my best year for growth 🤞🤞

[@UpNorthKoiPond]

Pond looking fantastic Leon💯 and the fish looking superb 👌 im very weary too about colour throwing out secondary, im feeding on a 70/30 ratio so im hoping it wont overpower the colours but give enough to strengthen pigment as the fish grow. I also use detox regularly, however i use it after water changes to strip supply water contaminants out the water, metals etc. Its top stuff.👌

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers sy . I was using it 50/50 at first then 70/30 in favour of growth in all honesty I think the 50% colour mix was the problem if I use it in future it will be in smaller amounts just to support the beni during the seasonal growth. I'm hoping I can cut down on the detox soon and maybe go to once a week 🤞🤞

[@SheldonRichards-uc5jg]

Another great up date mate

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers daz 👌👍👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Very interesting video Leon👍. I’ve been using detox for a while but only at very small doses (2 tablespoons once a week) and believe it has been/is beneficial to the water quality so glad you’re seeing positive results. BTW, good to see you back😊👍

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers Phil I've tried so many things to reduce the nitrite but the detox is the only thing that's helped so fr fingers crossed it keeps dropping 🤞🤞

[@Pine-tree-koi-pond]

Those karashigois are great 👍

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers mate yeah I'm well chuffed with them the bigger one is nisai at mud 60s so hopefully I can push it to 70 odd maybe 80 🤞🤞

[@jasonhind4172]

Did anyone experience the koi flashing after putting the detox in? I found my koi were irritated by it when i put it in. Glad its sorted your nitrite problem so far. Im also experiencing high nitrite this year. I've noticed a rise in nitrite in my fresh tap water as well, which doesn't help!

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Hello Jason I have a tiny bit of flashing when I first add it I'm guessing the grittiness of the powder irritates the gills a bit at first, I've checked my tap water and doesn't have any nitrite but I suppose it depends on the area you live in . Hopefully you can get yours sorted soon 🤞🤞

[@scrag68]

Nice little update mate glad your getting ontop of your Nitrites fish are looking great 👍 🙏👏

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers mate hopefully it keeps dropping now 🤞🤞

[@dkoi-tv]

Hey fella. Hope you're keeping well mate. Glad the detox is working for you. Never used it myself

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Yes mate I'm good hope you and the family are well. Yeah it seems to be working a treat hopefully it keeps dropping 🤞🤞

[@dkoi-tv]

@@progressivepondkeeping we're great squire. Have a good one 👍🏻

[@westbromkoi]

The koi are looking well mate. I use that pond detox, it’s good stuff, the skin on my koi has never looked so good 👍🏼👌🏼

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers Pete yeah mate it's good stuff 👌👍👍

[@HumberKoi]

The same company do a product called everix that is for lowering ammonia and nitrate and it’s mint I add it once a week

[@progressivepondkeeping]

I have seen that but for some reason though it was the same as virkon don't know where I got that idea from 🤣 I'll have a look at it cheers for the heads up that might do a better job tbh 👌👍

[@progressivepondkeeping]

It was virasure that I was getting it mixed up with 🤷‍♂️

[@frankiepitt9135]

High nitrite is very unusual in a well matured pond, nitrate is a different matter. You need to improve the filter system, you shouldn’t need to dose with anything for nitrite.

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Hello frank I agree mate although I've found multiple people with the same issue and like mine their ponds are well established the only thing I can come up with is the water board have added something to our mains supply and I'm thinking chloramine, I'll update this issue soon as I'm due a water analysis this coming week. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@dancrawford2690]

Do you know why your nitrites climbed up? Would be interesting to know

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Hello mate yes at one point it went up to between 2.0ppm to 5.0ppm on the api test kit 👍

[@Koi-addict33]

Put a planted gravel filter somewhere mate , no nitrate issues again 👌🏻

[@progressivepondkeeping]

Cheers mate 👍
