| I'll try this on here as well guys. I am currently pp the pond, treating "ich". Can someone tell me how long the pp remains in the pond and how long it remains active. From what info I have gathered on "ich" I could Lose everything. I cant treat with other stuff cos of the temp and dont have a means of heating the 2500 gals

| the higher your organic load in the pond the less time it will remain active for if you put some pp in a bucket of clean water it will remain active for absaloutly ages..to be effectiver against parasites it needs to stay active for 3 to 4 hours have you salted your pond at all ?

| Hi We salted the pond with 10kg then took a sample to Teesside Koi where they did a saline check which came out at 0.1, they told us to go to 0.17 so we added another 5kg today. Sue is going to take a sample in tomorrow to check again. We are still trying to get rid of whitespot. The fish went from being very slow to swimming normally after we introduced the salt. Dont know if it was coincidence or what.

| Against the majority opinion I am a believer in salting my pond for the winter. I do not have half the problems which seem to plague others and genuinely believe that salt is the reason. I think it is a very under rated friend of the koi keeper. Stewart
