We’ve Been getting a lot of phone calls today about peoples koi and the upcoming storm so here are a couple tips.
1. Stop feeding your fish until the storm is over and/or your power is back up and running … less waste in the water
2. Cover your pond with a net to prevent falling debris from getting into your pond
3. Do a 15% water change but don’t add water let the rain fill up your pond, we’re forecasted to get around 4” of rain
4. Battery and/or solar powered air pumps and water pumps are a complete waste of money they are not strong enough for koi ponds
5. Water temps are in the mid 60s your koi have plenty of oxygen
6. Test your water before and after the storm, water parameters will get thrown off with a storm of this size
7. If you use baking soda to increase your KH add a little at a time, do not dump an entire bag in at one time and make sure your ammonia is ZERO before adding any baking soda
We have plenty of air pumps and water pumps in stock and ready to go if needed and we’ll be available all weekend
