Dealing with D.O.C

Been using koi master/Replenish for most of the summer now and found it to be very helpful as an additive for the pH level and to a certain extent water quality. That is until this weekend with the sun shining on the pond there is a slight tinge to the water so instead of the usual additive I tried the old favourite Magic Powder & Super Clean C.

I have been very surprised at the amount of D.O.C that it has pulled up to the surface, it leaves a film floating unlike the koi masters/Replenish that is caught in the filters. The water is still cloudy at the moment so I will report further when it clears.

Has anyone else found this or even tried it since they started using koi master/Replenish ?

Yep ive found that recently,thought it was the food so used wheatgerm but wasnt any different so decided to stop using KMA

Are you saying the KMA has affected your clarity?

No not saying it has contributed to poor clarity just it doesnt seem to mop up the D.O.C as well as Super Clean C & Magic Powder does. KMA is very good for the pH/Kh buffering.

So we now need all 3!!

I saw Chrissy`s pond on Saturday and what a great pond.All is very well planned and the filter house is fantastic with viewing windows even in the filters!!! How good is that.?

Some lovely koi to see as well and my fave is the Goshiki Tancho...just WOW!

Thank you for the chance to see your lovely pond....now what the hell is wrong with that water??

Your welcome Peter its always nice to have another fellow koi keeper to chat to around your pond. LOL I did say the water was a little off at the moment not its usual sparkle lol

If I decide to move it on I will put you first on the list.

I hope your pond and koi are all doing ok Chrissy.Not spoken for a while.

Yes the koi are in winter mode now so think they are OK, not been around much on the internet too many other things going on.
