Please can you help, I have had a problem for about 6 weeks now. I have
got a small pond and I have had a lot of trouble with fish not surviving
in the water. I have had the water tested for the usual PH and nitrate
problems all coming back ok. I have emptied the pond scrubbed the liner
and refilled. This time I changed the water circulation so I have several
fine jets of water from my pump back into the pond to get more oxygen into
the water. This time I have not stocked the pond or put any plants into it
I plan to do this after a week or so. My problem is that after 2 days a
layer of white film has formed over the bottom of the pond all over the
liner. I live in north Kent and we have very hard water. I do not know
what the film is or if it is safe for fish. We have not sprayed or fed any
plants I have talked to southern water who are not interested because it
is a pond and not domestic water supply. Have you got any ideas?

====================
I don't like in the UK so can't say what the white stuff on your liner is.
There are so many things that can cause the death of fish. You didn't say
how large your pond is (in gallons for us here in the USA) or if it was
filtered or not when the fish died, how warm the water was on a sunny day...
etc etc etc.....
