Nice intro on the video J and WB. I hasten to guess that you’ve been busy in the fish room with the new build given this is the first video for over a week which is unusual for your channel but good things come to those who wait. Very informative video, as I previously said I have very limited knowledge on Koi but always leave your videos with lessons learned which is always a pleasure and keeps me subscribed. Massive thanks and stay safe, hope to see you soon bud.👍
You'll be the first one round when it's up and running, the fishroom is like a bomb site currently with moving new stands etc in which is why it was easier to do bits in the coldwater room, however I have some tropical stuff recorded last week hence the delay in upload which I'll get up this week!
A very interesting video Jack. Can the salt 'solution' stay once in a pond or does the water have to be changed somehow? I have a 4000 litre garden pond with large goldfish; presuming 2.2lb of salt per 1000 litres... I'll be making it up in small batches and introducing it via the waterfall outlet from the filter to the pond. Does that sound ok to you?
0.1 % salinity goes a long way in keeping fish healthy while not damaging plants or good bacteria. If salt is so bad the ocean will be a dead place wont it. haha. The salt in saline solution in our contacts is at 0.7%. Our eyes dont get burned by it, so fish wont get burned by a mere 0.1%.
Hi there. I’m wondering how much salt I should add to my 500 gallon pond? I don’t want too much in, one of my fish have ammonia burns so I want to fix that.
I have a 330 gallon pond how much Blagdon salt fo I need to use , I have a fish with dropsy also using ulcer treatment , my fish are also breeding do I leave it , please could you help me
@@TheBaldingReefer the instructions are baffling us , do we put it in over 2 to 3 days , it mentions changing water do we really need to do that , typical the fish are chasing the females even my poorly one but not as much as the other females she is massive bless her , I would like to help her but don't want to damage any eggs which they usually eat , I had thought she was pregnant but reading up she has dropsy such a shame as she's my biggest koi we also haven't a clue with what we are doing, I bought a 2.27 kg bag of Blagdon tonic salt thank you for all your help x
Great video Jack 👍
Really useful information.
Stay safe.
Cheers Keith, glad you found it informative

Perfect mate :) salt will stay in until you dilute it out buddy
Thank you - that'll be by rain and top-ups as nature provides and requires. @@TheBaldingReefer

Just what I needed to know
Is it a good idea to salt bath a new koi that’s your bring home from the dealer to de stress ect from the journey
I would personally recommend this
In which time and which temperature ee give salt in water
My meter has 0.00's so would it be 0.05% or 0.50% ??? Thanks
0.5% mate
Hi there. I’m wondering how much salt I should add to my 500 gallon pond? I don’t want too much in, one of my fish have ammonia burns so I want to fix that.
I wouldnt add salt to ammonia burns, fresh water and some melafix will help this
Thanks
Would it be ok to use the aquarium salt that I already have in my outside pond rather than buying more? Is there a major difference?
Aquarium salt is is same thing :)
The Balding Reefer awesome, I’ll use it then. Thank you.
Hi pal I have a 1000gallon pond so how much pdv salt should I put in cheers great video 👍🏻👍🏻
What percentage do you want to get the salt level to bud?
No higher than 8 kilos of salt for a 0.8 salt reading, then weekly water changes of 10% to lower the salt concentrate slowly
@@TheBaldingReefer that's what I was wanting about 0.6 reading thankyou
6kg you will need buddy
@@TheBaldingReefer brill thankyou 👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Beverly, use 1kg per 1000litres, that will give you a reading of 0.1% id go up to 0.4%

Pond fish gold fish have mouth riot help
If you put them in a hospital tank and use a course of esha 2000 this will help or use melafix too
What about my plants tho?
They will be fine :)
The Balding Reefer Ok, thanks for reply, perhaps I will take them out for a few days to be safe. I will think bout it :)
My pleasure, but they will be fine don't worry
