My goal for my new pond has been a low fish load and high plant load. I want to have about half of the surface covered with plants, but my hyacinth and water lettuce keep dying while the potted plants are fine. I have 3 small koi that are healthy and happy but are probably not producing enough waste to fertilize the floaters. I know that chemical fertilizer is not the preferred method but, to get jump started I was thinking it would be a good idea. At least until the fish get bigger (they are growing well) and my cycle gets started.
I ordered some Laguna Plant-grow which is labeled fish safe. I am going to to give it a shot.
Does my logic seem sound? Any advice or caution before I add something unnatural to my pond?
Thanks.
