[@countvonaltibar236]

Just been doing this treatment this evening due to a spring outbreak of parasites. Have done PP before and this video was a great way to remind how to carry out a successful PP treatment

[@jackleonard2088]

Great video and i think it will help my Koi. What is the proper mixture of the peroxide per gallon of pond water.

[@kevingridley2643]

Hi mark new to your channel thanks to your tips and no how iv treated this today and all seems well thank you . Very easy for shop to sell and give directions but watching you really have me confidence cheers Kev .

[@electoplater]

hi mark did a pp treatment today added the correct amount after a 60 percent water change the water turned brown after 30 minutes so i added more pp to no avail the water would not maintain a purple colour even turned orange the first dose was 15 grams which finally ended up at 25 grams the pond is 11700 litres

[@sreeragken5406]

Lovely video, can we use this treatment to condition water in storage tank or you suggest chlorination to get rid of all paracites

[@anthonywatkins5781]

Brilliant instructional video, about to use on my pond for first time, hope it goes as well as yours, will the filtration be okay after adding PP & hydrogen peroxide.

[@chrispurnell8399]

Hi Mark does anything happen to biological bacteria when using pp

[@crimegeek]

Hi! Lovely pond and koi! I have been battling four different types of bad bacteria in my tank for months and after many attempts with gram negative antibiotics since I know two of the four bacteria’s are gram negative. So long story short I want to do PP on my 125 gallon of fancy goldfish so I don’t lose anymore and I’m still seeing new symptoms from the bacteria arise. How much would I do on a 125 gallon and for how long?

[@JC-jy9lm]

Could do with knowing how much Hydrogen peroxide to add per how many litre ect

[@unwired]

120ml / 20000L at 9% peroxide

[@solardiymadesimple.3779]

Hi, do you have to take plants of the pond first before doing this treatment.

[@NguyenNguyen-cw5bi]

Hello Mark I live in the USA. I love your video. Can you tell me how often use the pp ? Can I use it in the winter? Thank you very much.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Hi . Only use PP in temperatures above 10 degrees c ok. Do one treatment and if things don't improve do another a week later.

[@williamdodson2115]

Mark: My name is Dr Bill Dodson,DDS and I live in Monterey, Ca. I have had my 4000 gallon Koi pond since 1990 with a very large biological filter(20' x 3' wide x 6' deep). It is divided into 5 sections with biological media held 16" off the bottom of each section. The biological filter is well oxygenated with the pond having 4 separate oxygenating air stones. I have 8 large Koi that are thirty years old whereby no new Koi have ever been introduced. Here's my question...I just recently purchased 10 new Koi from Japan of which I have kept isolated in a separate 150 gallon tank with bio-filter and air stones. I was told that due to CEV(Koi Sleeping Disease), not to introduce until I can get my water temp up to 74-80 degrees F. My water temp is only 68 degree F and I doubt it will get much higher, even during our northern Calf summers. My friend has a Pool business and he said that I can get my pond temp up 10 degrees F by placing a special bubble wrap cover made for swimming pools. I can cut it to cover my pond dimensions and cut small openings in the thermo cover where your air stones come to the surface. Then I can salt, Proform C and Kursuri Fluke M on a 14 day regimen, but I have to have the temp up 10 degrees to be successful and not kill my original Koi. Can I put the thermo cover over my fish to increase the temp? Any contra-indications? I forgot to indicate that somehow in the past week my original Koi have become lethargic, scratching and solitude with very little movement! Somehow they got the virus from my new koi and I have them isolated! I'm fearing for my Koi that they will die! If I can get the pond temp up, I think I can save them! Very concerned...hoping that somebody out there will give me an answer! Bill Dodson

[@johnlysic6727]

William Dodson - did you use the PP treatment? I have been using it as needed for several years and it has saved my Koi from parasites a couple times now. I let it run through the filters for about 4 hours and then toss in a couple pints of hydrogen peroxide to neutralize the PP and clear up the brown water back to crystal clear again.

[@rick4861]

You could put a pond heater in (normally used to prevent freezing) That should provide enough heating to warm it up. I use a 250w floating unit.

[@adryawebb2556]

Great video. What would be the best way to calculate gallons on a pond that is varying depth and width? Thanks so much!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

If you type in pond volume calculator on Google you'll find loads of them. 😀👍

[@patrickt873]

Thank you. Its very good

[@raymercenilli1400]

how many days for chiladonella do u treat water also can you mix PP with salt????

[@InquiringMindsKnow]

Hi Mark - Help! I followed your instructions and treated my pond once in March and once in May. The main Koi I have been concerned about had a small ulcer spot developing. One other fish had one as well. Now the red skin is growing fast and I cannot catch her - a Jumbo all white Koi. I have both PP and an antibiotic. I am wondering if at this point I should treat the whole pond with the antibiotic or the PP again. What do you think?

[@jasonbraham]

Hi Mark, My pond is 650 litres, how much potassium permanganate should I use in grams.

[@mw643]

Thanks mate! Nice Doitsu Kohaku and Sorigoi, well there all nice tbh 👌🏻 Can you leave the UV light on with the PP? Also what’s the dosage for the HP?

[@Tom_Prendiville]

UV off and the directions are on the bottle or packet it's also a good idea to not be in a rush to switch uv back on so soon but keep the air going to replenish the oxygen levels

[@frankiepitt9135]

He tells you to turn UV off, listen.

[@electoplater]

great video

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

I know pp kills the bb but i heard it doesnt take as long as a new start up for the bb to build back up, is this true? Or does it still take a LONG time for the bb to be back to normal?

[@high_fructose_corn_syrup]

Question, i heard you can treat plants with pp as a precaution. I dont have pp but i do have a couple other meds; dimilin, prazi and aqua meds terminate. Would any of those work?

[@empirestatebullies]

Do you do water change after or before and does this affect you beneficial bacteria ?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Yes do a water change after the treatment. It will have a small impact on bacteria but numbers will soon return. Just keep food down to one feed a day for a week after treatment.

[@empirestatebullies]

MARK'S AQUATICS thank you 🙏🏼

[@TheQzak]

Hi Mark, if you had the option to do a complete water change after treating with PP would you? Is there any benefit to doing so? Just asking because I know I'll be pretty much starting from scratch with the filter so may as well have freshwater too? Or is this unnecessary? Thanks

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

If you have lots of fish I would leave the old water as it hold lots of beneficial bacteria. Partial water change and throw in a pond bomb for added bacteria.

[@TheQzak]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks Mark, really appreciate the reply! Keep up the good work, I'm new to the channel but I really enjoy your videos!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

No problem. Thanks for watching 😀👍

[@matthewteasdale5588]

Hello Mark how many gallons is your pond cheers

[@texitilemachineprint]

nice

[@NguyenNguyen-cw5bi]

Thank you so much

[@womblestacker7993]

Thanks

[@kimuseni]

Can I use this when the water is at low temperature. We are just going into spring and the water is at 40 degrees

[@conradgere]

hi mark how much do you use of hydrogen peroxide per gallon or say how much 3000gallon pond

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Hi. Using 6% hydrogen peroxide dose 25ml per 220 gallons that's 1000 litres of pond water. hope this helps.

[@adiyk9922]

Hi mark...what do you use of hydrogen peroxide 3% (food grade) or 50% ?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Using 6% hydrogen peroxide, use 25ml per 1000 litres 😊👍

Hey mark... Which one is it? 25ml 6% Hydrogen peroxide per 220 gallons or 1000 gallons

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Its litres. 😀👍

[@raymercenilli1400]

How many days do u treat for

[@matthewteasdale5588]

What's the ratio you use please for the hydrogen peroxide. Thanks

[@xx7451]

I have read 2 cups per 1000 gallons, or 1 quart per 2000 gallons.

[@EUAngler]

Hi mate I have problem with parasites I solve the problem with lice but now i have another with eye invisible parasites and bacteria is this treat would help me to solve the problem? Thanks!

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

The best thing to do is scrape some slime of an infected fish and take it to your local fish shop. They might have a microscope and they will id the culprit.

[@lyndawms]

I can’t keep my water purple for more then an hour. What do I do??

[@sangpralambangathaayaasri-9981]

Are potassium permanganate and kalium permanganate are same ?

[@credensjusticiam3380]

yes,

[@Synysterjmz]

I attempted a PP treatment on my pond and the water went brown basically instantly.... I used the correct amount, so not quite sure what to do? Should I dose again at the same amount??

[@patrickt873]

You have too much organic material so you need to clean it out or use a stronger amount.

[@Synysterjmz]

@@patrickt873 nah I realised it was residual ST from a water change a few days prior. Didn't realise it stayed in the water for so long

[@66koi]

What is lowest temp PP will work please

[@joshkeyworth4679]

Hi, do you know if you have smaller koi will that effect them

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

It wont affect smaller koi they'll be fine.👍

[@connorsmith2771]

What’s the dosage for the HP.

[@mikefogo9912]

I've got flukes,dose pp get rid of them

[@jalaljalal7265]

What you want to treat pls?

Is it possible to overdose with hydrogen peroxide when deactivating the pp?

[@Helen-rr2yb]

Hi, how strong would a microscope need to be to see parasites?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

About 400x magnification 😊👍

[@Helen-rr2yb]

Thank you for replying 😊

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

@@Helen-rr2yb No problem 😊👍

[@electoplater]

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

[@electoplater]
