spring cleaning, new/old water ratio?
I transferred my 2 barrel ponds (40 gallons total), water, fish and
plants are now in a rubbermaid tote. I was wondering to refill the pond, how much old water should I use? The old water has a brown tint to it. |

Just make sure you acclimate your fish to the NEW WATER which may have a very different PH etc. Put them in a tote with a little of their old water and over a period of hours add a bit new water, a little more and a little more until they're in at least 80 to 90% new water before moving them back. -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...

spring cleaning, new/old water ratio?
After a day, the chlorine will beout of it. You can use new water if the
chlorine and chloramines are out of it. The fish would need to get aclimated...generally by slow mix of old and new in a floating container. -- See our pond at: home.bellsouth.net/personalpages/pwp-jameshurley Ask me about Jog A Thon fundraiser (clears $120+ per child) at: jogathon.net wrote in message ups.com...
