Hi all koifriends
Like many new koi enthusiasts, I built a too small pond(12.5 kl) from the start, almost two years ago. I'm starting to fill my new 50 kl pond today and hope to switch on the pump tomorrow. Would like to know what the best 'start-up' procedure will be, i.e. should salt be added, montmorolite clay, etc. I do have mature biomedia to move from the current running pond-believe that will be helpfull. How long should I wait before moving my collection-or should I put in a few 'less worth' koi first? Watertemp dropped to 13 degrees-so I almost stopped feeding. All input will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Philip
