Message: [QUOTE="Jason, post: 179354, member: 5060"] WOW, Thanks Larkin, I will get my water tested tomorrow and read you the Readings! I will also look into buying a water thermometer as right now I just use a Temp Gun that bounces off of surfaces to tell me the temp. My PH last time was 8.1 and the guy at petsmart said that was fine but was the only thing thats was even a little out of "Perfect" according to him lol The food I use is Tetra Pond sticks (Bag) but the way my fish keep eating and soon to have another Pond with 3 fish moved to it and 2 Shubunkins I might be buying the big 5 gallon buckets they sell at Lowes, and is that a good brand of food? I have a lot to learn and have already learned the basics as far as Building the pond for future proof, How to acclimate fish, Benifits of UV and Bio filters, etc. But it looks like the water itself is the real trick to a healthy flourishing pond! :) [/QUOTE]
