Came home late from Independence Day festivities to discover pond
pumps sucking air! Thanks to the good advice of Jan and others from
many years ago, pumps were not on the bottom. Nevertheless, fish had
little more than enough to be wet.
Added just enough water Saturday night to cover the pumps. Had no
Stress coat or dechlor on hand. Sunday morning I got the water
conditioner and set the sprinkler over the pond to begin a slow fill.
Despite radical temperature difference and huge water quality
difference, the fish seem healthy and happy tonight.
I still need to adjust general hardness,, currently 0ppm.. Luckily we
are expecting several inches of rain this week which will help with
alkalinity, currently 300ppm and pH currently 9.0.
Is there anything specific I should be prepared for as far as the fish
are concerned?
Any good ideas how to raise GH when KH is so high?

Thanks,
