Around 40-ppms........Thanks


That is a little low, but not dangerlously so. If it were me, I'd just

add
some limestone rocks to the pond and leave it at that. I have a
limestone
waterfall, and my general hardness stays right at 80 mg/L, which is
normal
for freshwater ponds.

=======================
And they're totally safe. They raise it slowly and gradually - no shock
to
the fish.

Exactly. And the limestone keeps the alkalinity from falling.
