Brilliant video for relative new comers to the hobby. Clear and rational, unlike much of the other advice regarding salt use. Many thanks. It all makes sense when you explain it.

Well just another very useful insight to salt in the pond, you are my go to Daz for any learning of keeping koi, thank you for the video, keep well and keep safe. 👌

Great video Daz, cheers.

I’m still struggling with high nitrites (40-70% water changes every 4 days or so), due to new pond syndrome. I have a bakki shower on order (due in a week or so), I’m hoping this will help.

I read online that salt can help protect koi from the bad effects of nitrite and also reduce the stress. So I have raised the salt level to 0.3%, as a temporary solution, until my bakki is up and running (still doing water changes, but not as many).

Is this true? As I noticed you didn’t mention it in your video.

Very informative video, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I used to have a reef tank and have a large unused bucket of Red Sea Coral Pro salt, could this salt be used in my pond? Thanks.
