Water PH

I live close to Sherman,Tx

Ah, so just above the Dallas area? You are geographically West and North of me — I’m in Shreveport, LA.

@BRENDA BARAJAS - thanks for hanging in there with all the questions! Many times people just get intimidated and drop off the face of the earth. As @Mmathis it often takes a few posts with follow up questions to get to the full picture.

Do you have any shade on your pond? And when you did have fish, did I understand that you had the same fish without any trouble for a long period of time?

peroxide does not adjust ph .

At the time my problem started,I had the fish for awhile. I also had some shade various time of the day. After I did my work on the pond, the fish died 2 days later. Haven't had fish since because of pH. A couple of years ago I had to take a tree down . Now pond is in full sun until late in the day, but not really what I would call shade either. Have had several frogs for the last 3 years but none presently. Now pH is 8.4- 8.8 so will try new fish after I use a dechlorinator. Will see how it goes.

No, mostly used to for the green water and smell.

Hydrogen peroxide can over-oxygenate the water plus alter the PH significantly if not used correctly.
Fish can die as a result.

A complete list of water numerical test results using a liquid test kit will be the fastest route to solving any problems.

Thank you for this information. As of right now I have no fish but I will keep this in mind, and I will purchase a liquid test kit to be able to do it myself.
