Thanks for the explanation. I've heard PH my whole life, but I never knew what the initials were for. I have a pond to deal with this spring that has soft water. This helps me understand it more.
Nice video! Also no pressure but if you can and want to please make a video about budget fish ponds without pumps or filters and what pants to get and what to avoid and which fish to get and which to avoid because I would love to know as well as other people on a cheap budget. Also if there's a way to make an aeration system be cheap I guess many people would love to know. I hope this isn't a pain to read and thanks for all the help because these vides are very informative.
This is an agenda that is rarely discussed in Japanese KOI keeping. Instead, it seems to be actively discussed in tropical fish, river shrimp and killifish....。
My PH was constantly low, below 6, which led to high ammonia. I was doing constant water changes only to discover our tap water is zero KH. I have to use a PH and KH stabiliser to keep the KH up, which in turn keeps the PH good.
Hi Mark, love your videos. Recently tested pond, everything fine apart from ph which is low at around 6. Pond is 4000 litres, filtered, aerated, trickle water feature. Sticklebacks happy, zooming about and nesting, but goldfish ( a few added a month ago) are hiding and really don't look happy. Lots of plants and I skim all the time to remove debris, but lots of blanketweed. Do I have a problem? Any non chemical solutions?
I can not understand why each and every video or article on the matter adress only one side of the problem, which is from my experience a lot less common. More often you need to lowrer the Ph, especially when you trying to fight algee. And no, Ph 8,5 is not good.
Great video our ph is 8.5 Please help us with an Ulcer problem ..4 koi have them in our new pond 1 is almost healed but 3 others are now being treated Many thanks Nadine
To help your Koi recover from ulcers, check the water quality and make any necessary adjustments. Consider moving the affected fish to a quarantine tank for treatment to prevent the spread of infection. You can apply a topical treatment or add medication to the water. A high-quality diet and managing stress levels can also help. If the ulcers persist, consult with a vet. Remember, prevention is key to keeping your Koi healthy.

What I would do if I was on a budget buy a pool from Amazon and add the biggest filter you can afford.
@@ThePondAdvisor Good idea

Crazy right

Thanks Mark!
My pleasure!
Guys if have a pond just buy sodium bicarbonate. You can get it at pool stores. Its what the alkalinity booster is.
This is amazing
Thanks 🙏
Great talk Mark
thanks

What about problems with high ph?
I do cover high in the video. The fish have a hard time breathing
@@ThePondAdvisor how do you solve the problem of high ph?
@@Willfish97 water changes, adding driftwood, using acids (some use white vinegar however it's weak) pH down is a product you can buy.
My ph is 8.0 and my kh is in between 60ppm and 70ppm is that OK I've got two fantail goldfish in my 500 litre stock pond
White board is good
Thanks
Get to the point
Thanks for the feedback
Maybe this person wasn't really listening, either way there's no need to be rude.
