I don't use UV.... if the plant to fish ratio is balanced it isn't needed.

So, do you routinely treat the water for parasites, with PP or an
off-the-shelf product? Or do you find it a sufficient safeguard to trust
on the health of the fish and the water parameters?

It is unlikely that I will keep making new fish additions (except any
they care to make for me - lol) but there is no way of preventing frogs,
newts etc from making the pond their home....now plants are a different
matter - he, he
