koiguy1969 said:Fishin'......would that bag of salt from the fish farm be a Blue bag of Mortons Solar Salt? ......$4.50 at Lowes..been using it for a few years now...mentioned it in many posts....as far as clay kitty litter...bentonite clay is the one to use for a replacement for koi clay. it allows for nutrient exchange. and provides some trace minerals. i prefer Koi Vital from terapond myself...all the benefits of koi clay..no mess!...and i preferr to go with barley extract as well...thats just me. barley bales take too long to become effective. they have to break down and release humic acids that slowly become hydrogen peroxide, this is what kills the algae. the extract already contains humic acids.....quicker!! starting the pond with the exrtract along with your bales would likely greatly enchance the efectiveness.
