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.👌
@progressivepondkeepingАй бұрын
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 🤞🤞

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😊👍

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!
@progressivepondkeepingАй бұрын
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 🤞🤞

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

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 👌👍

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.
@progressivepondkeepingАй бұрын
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 👍

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

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