Pond migration was a success! I used a larger skimmer net to catch several hundred at a time and then used a smaller net to transfer over about 20...

Very good to hear. You've got some numbers to help those odds. :like:

Make sure you're using a HIGH pH test kit and not a WIDE pH test kit.

If the pH is going high as shown, then you need to add calcium chloride, as with calcium, the carbonates that have the higher pH than the...

Be aware that the higher the PH, the more toxic the ammonia becomes. Try to get it to 7.5 to 8. Baking soda works well to raise the KH to keep your...

Add baking soda to prevent pH shift

Ok sounds good i will do that is it going to kill the fish with the ph changes? Also I'm assuming it's around 9.0 or 9.2but it could be higher!

Keep the filter running and it'll balance out, I wish I have this problem because my pond is in the shade

Quick update, these Kosui fry seem to be doing well. A lot of them were free swimming within 24 hrs of hatch. It took the Shusui fry 2-3 days to...

Today is the day! Going to move at least half of this spawn to the mud pond. I have been trying to be patient with starting an algae bloom but it's...

You can combine with FMG to treat broadly. If you have QT setup you can treat at the same time, otherwise you need to get a QT setup going

I have Fluke-M in, enough for the first dose and will order the second. I believe i can use this at the same time as using the blanket weed...

Quick and cheap.... try something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhAmpNnKPFk Perhaps just add a couple layers of filter floss in...

I don't think UV will remove tannin but it could still be worth increasing the UV strength as tannins and turbidity (cloudy water) will reduce UV...
