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!



Your Friend,

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.

For what?
(Too much snipping? )
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
