Definitely got a good feel factor watching this upload mate, so pleased that the Koi got back to good health with a little help.Truly inspiring and comforting to anyone that’s got a pond knowing that help is at hand from people like yourself.

Hello mate. Do you have an idea what the concentration of PP is in ppm? I have a premade solution that I bought so I can’t mix it from powder like you did. Thanks a lot! Appreciate it ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻🐟

Hi great video.would dipping new koi be a way of ensuring you don't introduce parasites to your pond

[@TheBaldingReefer]

I wouldn’t recommend pp dipping all new koi as it’s a very strong treatment

[@sirtubemaster]

You should always QT your new fish even if its from a good place! at bare minimum, ill salt dip/bath new fish

[@CryptoKoi]

Awesome video

[@jeannineward285]

Can you please confirm the measurements for a pp dip? Water/PP/Time

[@zero2469]

Should I use pp if my koi has an ulcer but is still active ?

[@mecatronica83]

Could you explain the dosage for carp with scales and doitsu? how many grams or milligrams per liter and how long is the bath? Please..thanks

[@mikefogo9912]

Great by,can you confirm how much pp I can put in my 5500 Lt pond,👍how many grams?

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Cheers buddy, and 16.5 grams :)

[@karthikraj3657]

Great video..really helpful..but did i hear it wrong..is it 1 gram pp/ 50 litres of water or 1gram pp/ 10 litres of water..??

[@thepeoplespond]

Smashed it mate...such a helpful video and i will be using the technique soon as got flukes and tric and dont want to pp my whole pond, so i don't knock back my unmatured filter!!!

Great video can I ask I have icb tank sunk in garden with goldfish Blackmore shurbumpikns one of my large goldfish fantail is grumpy sits at bottom the other fish move him around I did take out and treat for swim bladder heated large tank and just feed peas he ate but seems sleepy I have purchased pp would you recommend bath for him as I have some salt in pond and have put tetra pond treatment in already have changed water if so I'd like to maybe dip him would a few minutes like you did be good as iv had now for over 4years and he's big and he's normally the first up 👍

[@TheBaldingReefer]

I would advise a 2 minute dip on that as your doing everything else spot on and that should sort him out

[@sarahjones7046]

Thanks for your reply I will do this weekend feel a bit more confident now with what to try 👍

[@TheBaldingReefer]

If you need further help, message me on social media :)

[@kristinabarkovic4525]

Hey again :) In your video you say you used 1 gram per 25 liters of water and then later on you say you used 1 gram per 10 liters of water. Your description bar says per 10 liters. Could you please double check that?

[@micklawson1958]

Sorry mate you can use salt with pp you can not use salt with formalin

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Fair enough, guidelines say not to buddy so I've never tried

[@micklawson1958]

@@TheBaldingReefer and putting air in to pp is not doing anything mate as pp strips the oxygen out the water to kill bacteria and parasite

[@TheBaldingReefer]

It aids the fish though and will add a little oxygen in there mate, I get it strips it, but keeping a koi in pp water for up to 7 minutes with no air stone can kill it

[@micklawson1958]

I hope you don’t think I am being funny mate I love your video and what you do

[@TheBaldingReefer]

No mate absolutely not! I love the fact you guys get involved and have your methods, this is just how I was taught mate that's all

[@craigkane9723]

1gram Per 10 litres..... is this right.... cuz on the packet it says 6.8 grams per 4546 litres

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Yes mate if you work it backwards

[@cykiq4574]

Why can’t you pp with salt in your pond is this to do with oxygen??

[@TheBaldingReefer]

That's exactly right mate, creates a reaction and zaps all oxygen out the water

[@cykiq4574]

@@TheBaldingReefer Thankyou, Is there any reason why doistu are more fragile than a normal koi

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Yes buddy its just they don't have the scales to protect them mate

[@edanderson859]

Great info mate, may be a stupid question but how do you know if it needs another dip?

[@TheBaldingReefer]

If the wound appears to stay the same or gets worse then another dip would be needed pops

[@mfaisalbobby33]

Thank you very much sir. One question how can pp be used to safe guard a planted pond from bacteria, etc. 1000lts of water.

[@TheBaldingReefer]

You'll have to check what plants you have so you know what's a safe treatment level to use buddy

[@sinisadreven4546]

Hi, my pond temp. is 10 ° c , can i do pp dip ?

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Yes just make sure you use heated water in your dip bucket, try and mix in warm tap water

[@sinisadreven4546]

Ok, tnx!

[@amyh4032]

Is this safe for platies and other live bearers? I'm treating all of the fish in one of my tanks by extended soaks for parasites, any tips? I have a miligram set of scales and will follow the measurements to a t but wondered if there's anything I should look out for.

[@TheBaldingReefer]

Just make sure there is plenty of oxygen in the water mate, follow the instructions to a T and you'll be fine

You say PP has a bad name because ppl dose wrong Then you give advice of 1 gram per 50L Then 1 gram per 10L You should redo this video 🤷🏼
