ive been told by the fish shop the stones ive got round my pond are leaching in to my water when it rains and thats wots causing my fungus cud this be true ive been told to put the slabs under the liner and build deking on top of that

Are they also selling bridges in the desert? Ask them to tell you what mineral from the rocks is causing a fungus. I can hardly wait to hear the answer.

hi dr they rekon its lime hmmmmm ive run out of ideas so i have built a edge with wood round the pond now and the liner goes over then the stones behind so they cant leach into the water when it rains ill have to see if it works im thinking of emptying the whole pond but its a bad idea i know

you can test for lime by pouring a small amount of vinegar onto the slabs ..if it fizzes its lime ...but i dont know if lime would make you fish get fungus

im using tap water with tap safe when i do water change i want to empty my pond fully and scrub it but i think that will do more harm to the fish than good

u could empty it and scrub it and start ur bio cycle over but give the fish at least 48 hrs b4 u put em back in.
