Help me.
My fish are dying at a rate of 2 - 3 per day. I don't know exactly why. But I suspect it is a combination of temperature and pH. (pH around 8.0) How I don't know... My pond is in full sun and can get quite warm above 80F easy. But now the pond is cooler sense the outdoor temps have become more tolerable. Anyway, I noticed I was loosing some fish. I tested the water and everything came back OK except the water hardness, and pH. Both were way high. like a pH of 8.0. Ammonia and nitrate levels were great. Hell, I've even noticed the string algae that started to grow dropped deader than a hammer as well!!!! Something is in my pond water and its killing my fish. Any ideas? Can temp cause a high pH level? Should I make my pond deeper because its in full sun and can get quite warm? The current depth is 18-24 inches and approx 250gal. I had about 20 goldfish averaging 3-6 inches in length. I'm down to about 8 and they're moaping around like the grim reaper is on their shoulders. Help!! PondDiver |
