If you have a virus or parasite in the pond you cannot see them and by not sterilising the net you leave yourself open to all sorts of bother. I spray with a solution of Virasure before and after each use.</P><P>StewartSun, 28 Oct 2007 13:17:48 GMTwilliebravehearthttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxThat's a fair point Steve, but if in the unlikely event one of your koi falls ill and you need to get it out, then surely afterwards you would want to sterilize your equipment to ensure that you do not transfer 'x' disease/ infection/ problem to any of your other fish? I've had this concern for some time, and now I know what to use :D:DSun, 28 Oct 2007 06:47:51 GMTPippahttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxMarc,</P><P>obviuosly in your case with either more than one pond or the turn round of koi due to the business is of up most safety.With parasites and diseases going around its best to do it the way you do.I don't as I only have the one pond and now I've got 11 koi I won't be buying anymore</P><P>steveFri, 27 Jul 2007 08:56:20 GMTstokiehttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxStokie </P><P>I do agree I only do it as I have many fish coming in and out month by month seprate nets are used on each pond but to be bio secure I must take every precaution.</P><P>Marc</P><P><A href="http://www.koiisland.co.uk">www.koiisland.co.uk</A>Thu, 26 Jul 2007 22:10:05 GMTMarc Loudhttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxLads,</P><P>I'll be honest I don't use anything, all I make sure is I only use my nets in my pond and no one elses. In doing that you are not transferring any bugs etc from pond to pond.</P><P>Sometimes I think people are to over protective towards Koi. The more you fuss the more I think you worry just for the sake of it.</P><P>Don't fix what doesn't need fixing, thats what my father always told me.</P><P>stokieTue, 24 Jul 2007 08:05:35 GMTstokiehttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxGraham,</P><P>No problems</P><P>Any probs give me a call 07970 727440Sun, 22 Jul 2007 23:16:01 GMTMarc Loudhttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspx:)Thanks Marc Sun, 22 Jul 2007 23:03:30 GMTGrahamhttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxGraham,</P><P>I just add a strong dosage to a bin an keep all nets in there and yes pp or acflavin.</P><P>MarcSun, 22 Jul 2007 22:36:44 GMTMarc Loudhttp://www.omnix.co.uk/forum/Topic81-20-1.aspxHi Marc,</P><P>Do you mean pp?
