I have no fish in my pond as yet, I will be stocking next spring but I was wondering I haven't tested my ph as yet if I get a high reading how does one lower the ph and or if the ph is very low how does one raise it, so it will accommodate Japanese Koi. I have never kept Japanese koi before so I know it is not an easy thing to do I am a complete beginner with koi. Mostyn If the pH is over 8.4 soak the pond with a gallon of muriatic acid per 1,000 gallons till pH stays well below 7.0 (add more if acid if necessary). Drain, rinse, fill, check pH after a month of sitting. Repeat above if necessary. If pH is under 6.5. Add baking soda, 1 cup/1000 and retest, repeat till pH is where you want it. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |
