Yeah guys!! What's the outcome of the trials? My pond seems to be fully cycled considering it's still new and has a ways to go yet before it matures. Test reading have been: Ammonia = zero; Nitrite = 0; Nitrate = 12.5 and holding still for over a week now. I'm hoping the bakki showers drop that down soon. The media in that system is still pretty white. This didn't take long at all to cycle and the fish seem unaffected by it all.
Had a pump go south on me the other day while I was gone. Got it working again many hours later, but in the meantime the pond started to go green <g>. So I've got a bit of an algae bloom happening again. If it clears as quickly as the first one did all should be good in about a week. Occupancy is now 15 medium to large koi.
