Koi and Toxins
My contractor used Latipoxy 310 non-sag and quick set made by
Laticrete to install a waterfall in my fish pond. I moved the fish to a holding tank for 24 hours while the epoxy cured. When I returned the fish to the pond they all died within an hour. The plastic holding tank where I moved the fish to revive them has become so poisoned that I have not been able to keep any feeder goldfish in it. They die in minutes. The one waterlilly that was in the pond is showing distress on all it's leaves. I have contacted the manufacturer by email to see what poisons I may be dealing with but thought that the experience of this newsgroup might be a better start. My interim actions have been multiple drain and fills, each time checking with feeder goldfish. I have also turned off the waterfall and "painted" all the exposed epoxy with silicone caulk. I have had no ill effects when using this caulk on other areas of the pond and filter. I have still not turned the waterfall back on and won't until I clear the toxins in the pond. Help! Jim Key |
