Poll: What are your temps today?

Temps on pond vary from day to day - today up to 62 degrees. Air temp today
was 82 degrees. I still have
everything running throughout the day. At night I lift the airstones up to
about 6 inches
from the surface. On very cool nights... about 35 to 40, I turn off the
waterfall.

I ordered KoiZyme today. Figure I can use it until December/January.
Should
help ease the fish over the springtime nasties (which thankfully, my fish
have never
had any probs)

pond.

I'm more sold on this stuff than I ever was on BZT and you know how sold I
was on that. ;o) Especially if one has more water garden w/koi than koi
pond. In that WGs have pots w/edges and rocks around the rim (if not in the
pond) so the pond looks more landscaped in, rather than swimming pool like.

So.... this year I purchased 2 qts for my 1500 pond. I did the math, how
many weeks of season at the different temps and how much product I would
need. I never missed a week and am quite surprised how poor my math was, as
I just opened the 2nd quart last weekend..... Better too much than not
enough though.

Anyway, my wonderings are, since I've used this all spring/summer/fall, I
don't think there is such a need for me to feed Romet B this fall. ~ jan
Started the transfer of fantails from outside to in today

Jan, I was wondering if I should go ahead and use BZT too? I think you
have
given me the answer. And to think I just got the 8oz of BZT! :O)
I will definitely refrigerate this new bottle of KoiZyme I ordered. It
should
stay 'fresher' this way.

Was swimming this afternoon. 17C (62F). That's a little bracing, but I
firmly believe that this salt-water pond of mine is intended for swimming
from Victoria Day (your Memorial Day) to Thanksgiving (which, thankfully is
this weekend, not the end of November), so I have to make the plunge. At
least I'm not one of those nuts who cuts a hole in the ice on New Year's
day.
