Default Use Salt to Determine Volume

A comment on salt in the pond from the KHA (Koi Health Advisors) point of
view. Koi Vet Sandy Yosha said: Koi are a fresh water fish, do not use salt
unless necessary.

That said, many of us bring our salt up to 0.1-0.15% in the spring and then
reduce it throughout the season with our many small frequent water changes.
Many of us have also found feeding Romet B for 2 weeks in the Spring and 2
weeks in the Fall helpful to keep away the cooties, as Ingrid is fond of
saying. ;o) ~ jan
