Biofilters and Salt level
Hello,
I have just started a new pond, my first one becoming too small for the fish. I was advised to add salt to the new pond as a preventative for stress when moving the fish. However, I have a problem with green water now, and wonder if the biofilter is effected by the salt, in other words, does the salt kill the beneficial bacteria? The water tests with zero ammonia, zero nitrite and zero nitrates, but then it is 1200 gallons with only 5 goldfish and 5 koi (about 12 inches each). So what could possibly be the reason for such green water? I have about 2/3 shade most of the day, and lots of under water plants, water lilies and tall grasses. The biofilters have been cycling for about a month now, and I have added several bottles of PondCare BioStarter. Any advice on the salt question would be appreciated. Please reply to my email: Thanks very much in advance. |
