I bought a test kit for ponds that test everything, but wouldn't you know the salt one is missing out of it and I threw my ticket away. I'll have to find that out. I do water changes every month about 20 to 25%. No algaecides, or medications used. I think that may be your problem. A water softer that uses salt puts enough sodium in the water that those with high blood pressure are told not to drink the water from such. Paging Dr. Greg Young, is that still correct? Priss, Take a sample with you to the pet store, even if you plan to buy a salt testing kit and they can tell you right off. Instead of a soak in miracle grow they might do better getting the salt leach out of the soil media using distilled water. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
