How much top off is safe?
I must admit that I am relatively new to ponding, 3 years exp, so most
everything I know I either heard from someone else or read in a book. That said.... Reading in "Koi Health and Disease" by Erik Johnson DVM (pg 19) on Chlorine toxicisity he says: "Even at LOW levels, (10% of the total volume during a waterchange) a dechlorinator must be used. The reason is that chronic exposure to Chlorine can cause irreversible gill hyperplasia, and leave you with chronically gasping fish" Cheers.

I don't yet have a device for measuring gallons added, so I am forced to use a 30 gallon rubbermaid, so you can imagine top offs take forever. Can I safely add 3-4 inches of water without hurting anything? Should I just add some dechlor anyway? Can you over dechlor? -- BenignVanilla Pond Site: www.darofamily.com/jeff/links/mypond Remove MYFRONTALLOBE to email me. |
