Bicarbonate of soda to buffer it back up, you can get a 5kg tub for about £10, don't waste your money on pond KH buffers, the bicarb does it exactly the same, just add it slowly to figure out what your pond needs

[andrewrutter]

I was told not to put your finger over the end of test tube because it affects the test results

[simonjones]

High, ponds looking great mate. Noticed on your KH test you never counted the first drop you used to turn the water blue and your supposed to count that one as well. Keep up the good vids.

[DerbyKoi]

Cracking video mate, thanks for mentioning Bizley, hope the shout out gets you even more subs. Can I just mention I remember reading not to use your finger when shaking the test tube has it can affect the results, not sure if it does but its something that's stuck with me.
Stay safe
Jobs a Goodun 👍

[nathanpalmer]

Just bought the same Filter as you as well💪🏻Keep going with the videos mate

[scottcannings]

All looking good, my pond is 4years old and my nitrates and nitrite still higher than I would like, no matter how I dont feed the fish, or do water changes and add extra filtration, but my fish seem good apart from last year bacterial issues which I'm on it, but bloody water temp this year is so bloody slow in coming up great video.

[davecooke]

Great video glad getting your water sorted takes few months everything balance out keep up great work mate 👍

[LauMagroTheFrenchKOInection]

Great video. Very much enjoyed it. The Bakki river will work a treat, especially as soon as you add the moving bed.
Keep the video coming, the pond looks lovely

[graemejohnson]

Bicarbonate from ALDI. To buffer up but 5 is ok

[ronsandland]

Like your add on behind the screen got to help with the bacteria ..good luck with the nitrite ..keep the videos coming 👍

[progressivepondkeeping]

Loving the bakki river mate nice how it's on wheels plus it's modular can add more tubs like you say 👌👍

[JohnJVHoey]

Great Video inspired me to consider building some extra filtration for my pond as I’m currently going through new pond syndrome to 🤦‍♂️ Also great Water test kit I use that one 🐠👍🏻🙂

[KoiRun]

Pond is looking fantastic. Interesting to have a cycle even with mature media. Nice surprise to have that extra space behind the wall. I like your new work table that seconds as a bar 😂.
