When Can I check my salt level??!
 

I wanted to know when should I check my salt levels in my pond??
And when can I add salt? I think but can't remember reading that someone can
read and add salt at this time of year; butI just want to make sure! :)

You can check the salt level anytime.
If you are going to salt, most do it in early spring, and remove it
gradually via water change outs.
Water changes (10% / week) should be routinely performed to remove nitrates,
along with other DOC, etc, etc that otherwise accumulate.
Happy ponding,
Greg

any time you want. 0.05% recommended for winter, bring that up to 0.1% for spring.

Yes, non-iodized, though.

not a good idea... it dissolves too fast and can flash burn the gills. also
expensive. look for water softening salt, solar crystal with no additives. big
bags, cheap. Ingrid
