[tropical fish club] New pond update

 

Not sure if I should be putting this on tropical fish club??
But update to previous post. Fish looking good, amonia 0 to 0.25
Nitrite 0 (was 5+ on 5.8.10), nitrate 0 (was 40 on 5/8/10), ph very high at least 8.4 to 8.8 (as from the beginning). Pond very green with algae but have only today (with new filter for double the water volume and only 5 small goldfish) put UV lamp on. Still running old (under volume filter in conjunction with new). Have put duckweed into pond a few days ago (loads) and have put loads of oxiginating plants (difficult to see how these are getting on as water is green). Have planted marginal plants but very early days.

Will the ph stay at this high level, or is my pond still cycling?

I hav not put any chemicals at all in at this stage!

Thank you for your help.

Sue Francis
