I could use some advice on pond plants
My plants seem to live, but thriving they are not. I'm in Arizona,
full sun (lot-a-sun) the water parameters are all 0 with the exception of the ph 8.6 (might be the problem) we have hard water. The salt content is .1% I use coral sand as the buffering agent and it keeps it at about the same 8.6 that comes out of the tap. The koi and goldfish are doing great since there's no fluctuation, but I think maybe it's killing the plants. The hyacinth sort of sits there and looks kinda melted. Duckweed and Azolla survive but certainly don't more than a few inches of surface area. The lilys do ok but don't bloom. Is it the ph? A lack of nutrients? I have a couple of large filters so no ammonia or nitirite. Salt? I tried potash and koi clay no luck there either. Any ideas? thanks |
