Hello we have a 3500 gallon pond, its 3ft deep, 10x10 about. With a bog/waterfall. The bog is currently empty of plants, the pond we added some plants including water lettuce. Most have yet to grow.
So I recently conducted a water test and I got .25ppm ammonia (btw the pond has been up about 8 months so you'd think it'd be cycled) 0ppm nitrite, and to my surprise no nitrate?
We bought some feeder goldfish and put them in their after doing a drip acclimation and they all died due to ammonia poisoning... Our filter is a Aquascape 4500 w/built in UV.
Any thoughts on the lack of nitrates and height of ammonia? Some floating plants have begun to die...
