Water testing is a must.
To ensure good water quality in your koi pond, regularly test the water parameters, including pH, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. Maintain a balanced ecosystem with adequate filtration, regular cleaning, and controlled feeding. Additionally, having aquatic plants can help in maintaining water quality. Ideal is:
- pH: Idealiter tussen 7 en 8. Een stabiele pH is cruciaal, aangezien sterke schommelingen schadelijk kunnen zijn.
- Ammoniak: Moet 0 ppm (parts per million) zijn. Ammoniak is giftig voor koi en kan gezondheidsproblemen veroorzaken.
- Nitriet: Ook dit moet 0 ppm zijn. Nitriet is minder giftig dan ammoniak, maar kan nog steeds schadelijk zijn in hoge concentraties.
- Nitraat: Moet onder 50 ppm blijven. Hogere niveaus kunnen stress en ziektes bij koi veroorzaken.
- Zuurstof: Idealiter boven 6 mg/L. Goede zuurstofniveaus zijn essentieel voor de gezondheid van koi.
