Thanks for posting pics, you have a beautiful pond, and I love your fish!

Your pond looks huge, how many gallons,how deep is it and how many fish do you have in there?
My pond is about 3800gls, I have 10 koi and 2 Shubunkins in there.We're about to start digging our second pond, I'm so addicted to koi!:ROFLMAO:

I have to get my water better before I risk getting koi. I’ve heard they may not like the ph very well here, but my goldfish are doing great. I’ll add some epsom salt to my roses, thanks for the good advice!

add baking soda the your pond,it will stabilize the ph to about 8.3.you could get a kh test kit and keep the kh to above 80ppm.i keep the kh to about 140.fish dont like the kh to fluctuate.
