Your pond looks real nice...water looks good..

[mrsclem]

It should. With all the problems we have had it has been changed out 5 times in 3 weeks. Don't want to see the water bill!

really nice pond mrsclem... :icon_smile: hope your fish are getting better read on another post you were having real problems

[mrsclem]

Started off with Ich and then went to a Hemmoragic bactericical problem. Under control so far and meds in the mail. so far no Koi lost.

[DrCase]

It realy looks good ,like the shape and the smooth sides...Hope you are over the hump.

Very Nice Pond!

[DrDave]

If you had ich then you might want to salt your pond (.1%) for a few months to make sure it is gone. It is cheap insurance.

[mrsclem]

Thanks for the concern Dr. Dave- So far this year no problems other than fry we really didn't want or need. Koi Condo II under construction. Have not used salt this year as I have heard some bugs can build up resistance to a pond that is salted regularly.

[DrDave]

Then don't salt regularly. I have only salted mine once in the past few years. If I had a problem, I would not hesitate, it does not take that long to reduce it with water exchanges.

[mrsclem]

Once you did one pond (and have the room) it seems more appear over time.
