*muffin* wrote: figures,, AFTER I get home from water pond store, I test my water & find it is very high in PH/ alkaline. calling around the stuff they make for ponds , is about $14. per pint & I would need 4 of them for a 3000 gal pond, ( yes??)(was told they treat 800 gal). anyway.......can I use the regular swimming POOL chemicals in my pond??? first off I have NO fish or plants in yet ( just filled it ). if , so how long before it would be safe to put fish in? or is there a cheaper alternative???? -- you dont metion what your ph/alkalinity is here in New Mexico my pond runs about 8.5--8.9 my plants and Koi do just fine ( plants are a litle slow but they grow well over the season ) if its above 9 then start messing with it otherwise dont a stable Ph is more benificial to the fish than a lower one and up and down swings as you try to keep it at a certain level are more harmfull than anything John Rutz Z5 New Mexico good judgement comes from bad experience, and that comes from bad judgement see my pond at: http://www.fuerjefe.com |
