Does size matter...when stocking Koi in your pond... :)
Nedra wrote: I'm ready to be scolded or flamed ... whatever! I just got my order of KoiZyme from KoiVet. I notice that I have to know how many gallons of water are in the pond in order to treat it. ... and here is the problem. My health has taken a nosedive - I can't do anything around the pond except water changes and adding Koi Clay, Amquel etc. Therefore, doing the testing to see how many gallons of water are in the pond is not possible. Can I ball park the dosage of KoiZyme - you know, treat the pond using 2,000 gallons instead of a real number? I thought the pond was a 3,000 gallons but now I'm not sure. Nedra from Doc Johnson Q: I currently have a Aeromonas problem, should I increase the Koizyme dosage and is that safe to do? A: We strongly recommend that you double the dosage rate if you have a existing Aeromonas problem. By doubling the dosage rate, you will speed up the rate that the Koizyme will consume the bad "nutrients" from the pond water, thus starving out the Aeromonas sooner. It is almost impossible to overdose with Koizyme. I have dosed my hospital tank, with 9 Koi in it, at the rate of 200ml (over 6 oz.)/1,000 gallons for a period of three weeks with no affect on the fish or the biofilter. Also, by increasing the dosage rate during an existing Aeromonas problem, Koizyme bacteria will displace the Aeromonas bacteria off the ulcer or infected area of the fish. You will see the infected area start to "white over" soon after treatment is started. BUT, let me say this, if the ulcer is in an advanced state (into the "meat" of the fish), you should treat that fish with antibiotics because most likely that Aeromonas bacteria has gotten into it's bloodstream.
