- Hi guys. On this episode of Mark's aquatics I'll be treating my pond with F.M.G. pond treatment for white spot, Trichodina, Costia, Chilodonella, and Fungus.Also adding some Hel-x 13 from richard from pondguru.
Congrats Mark on the 7K! You are beyond helpful to all of us and it should be way more the 7K and I am quite sure before long it will be. You really do help me more than can say so thank you. Fishfam if you are not subbed to Mark yet or Richard at Pondguru you are missing out big time!
Thank you for your kind words.👍😀
Thank you for uploading very helpful video keep up the good work also very nice pond and lovely koi 👍🏼
Love your channel, love your pond. Thanks for your videos
Just noticed the 7K, well done Mark, your vids are always great watching with good tips. You put out much better content than channels with 10x more subscribers. Keep it going mate.
Thank you Will. Yes getting there slowly.👍😀
Awesome channel Mark. Very informative. Thx for Sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks for watching.
Great advice Dr Mark 👍🏻
Hey Mark, Andrea Shelton from GA here...had to change my name cause I have a TH-cam stalker 👀. Just wanted to say I checked out the pond guru and he’s great. I’ve subscribed. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hey Mark .......Congratulations on the 7000 Subs...........Great work as usual. ..........Chris..........
Cheers Chris. 😁🖒
Nice pond, nice koi, educative tips .Thank you mark 👍👌
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Great information.
brilliant the way you've done the pond half
brilliant the way you've done the pond in and out
This is difficult to find here in the US. Another great video 👍
Awesome stuff as usual mate. I used to use K1 in a sump many years ago, fascinating stuff! Just a bit noisy for the house.
Have you heard of these biocenosis filter baskets? It's just an anoxic filter for removing nitrates and some phosphates. I'd love to hear your take on them
Hi Matt. I must look in to this.👍😀
You have some stunning Koi there Mark!
Thank you. 👍😀
brill vid buddy just had to buy some fmg as founf costia and chillo dose it work 1st time i like most of the nt labs stuff so fingers crossed this is just as good this is my 1st spring with my koi so 1st lot of parrasites im half way through a course of lernex for fluke as it goes lol
Way back in the day before wholesalers were really a thing we used to deal direct with NT Labs and their treatments were very good - great to see that they are still producing useful treatments.
The 40% difference in surface area per litre (of Hel-x vs K1) really does make a difference to moving beds.
One of your fish really caught my eye - a sanke with great colour separation and the white on it is extremely white too - looks very healthy. Reminds me of some I used to have in my pond before otters started wiping them out and I gave up on koi.
The sanke is a lovely koi. good strong colour and separation like you said. 👍😀
Congrats on 7K 👍 Absolutely love your pond!!! Wish I could make mind indoor/outdoor. One thing though, I think it would look even better with a water lily or 2. Just my opinion Please keep the vids coming 😍
Thank you!👍😀
MARK'S AQUATICS you’re very welcome. At the rate you are gaining popularity I think you’ll hit 10K before the end of summer 😃
That would be nice.😀
Your fish look so healthy, thanks for your tips and tricks, your koi pond looks amazing....maybe some water proof lights on the bottom of your pond for night time, I think that would look cool❤️💕😍🦐🦈🐝
Thank you. Yes been thinking of putting in some lighting. 😁
Great job
Hi,can I add pond salt when using,it has no salt in atm
Hi Mark, thank you for your video, really helpful for a newbie as i have had a little breakout of parasites for the first time in 4 years. Mark did you feed your koi whilst they were being treated with fmg? Must say lovely looking koi and a great set up you have 👌
No i don't feed during treatment . This keeps waste down and always add an airstone ok. 😀👍
Hi mark, I can see you’ve used f-m-g and also pp witch treatment do you prefer?
Hi I was just wondering if you can help me treated my pond 3 days now for white spot just wondering how many days does it normally take to go
Good Morning Mark! Good thing I'm not your neighbor...you would have to run me out of your garden; I'd be there with my coffee every morning :) LOL
Lol. It's a lovely place to sit and ponder on my next video.😀
Do you advise to add a dose of FMG every so often?
It's 4 am. I woke up when I heard my notification bell go off. lol.
Sorry for waking you up. Go back to sleep. 😴
I will be when I finish. :) I won't be able to sleep until I see what's going on. lol.
😂🤣😂🤣
How long does it remain blue for?
Thanks.
Hi Mark, Does this treatment affect the good bacteria?
And thanks for the great video.
No it won't kill off beneficial bacteria. 😊👍
How did you find the FMG ?
I was wondering about medicated water, when we do water changes? I had a sick fish, and searched on youtube, for some advise. It seems that some medicate just to be "safe", it seems that there is a lot of medicated water being flushed out. And I´m just wondering, if this is unsafe for the environment. I haven´t really found much concern on that topic.
I believe we should treat our sick fish, but know more about the waste.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
A lot of medications are inert after a given time , or when you start up your sterilizer it will clear the water. I wait for a few days after the uv has been working before a water change is carried out.
Thank you for answering. But then, would you suggest to use a UV in an aquarium after medication before water change. Like mine are small 54 liters tanks. I just want to be prepared, in case I need to medicate, and not mess up nature.
Do you ever get herons or frogs in your pond? I don't know what is beyond your fences, if it is wooded or whatever. Does anything ever try to catch your fish?
We get lots of herons here to.My garden is very closed in by trees and telephone wires so its very hard for them to land and take off. I get the odd one land in the trees, take a look and then fly off.
what kinda water test kit do you use?? i havent been able to find them for ponds but i do have one for tanks ..will that work the same? also keep us informed on how the treatment works i might need to get some of that and use in my pond too ive been seeing some fish something kinda weird and some scritching as well.. i did just get some new fish also so im kinda worried they might have something in them..love the new media wander if he will ship to usa ? i might have to get ahold of him on that lol
lance wixom Yes he ships world wide. I use a JBL test lab. They're great.
cool ty ill have to look for them on line prolly cant find pond testers around here in the stores also didnt see the fmg treatment you got ether
also how do toy keep algae from growing in your pond? cant seem to slow it down in mine and i have water plants also but i dont feed the plants. we just have really good water for growing algae lol .. also when you treat your pond with that stuff do you remove the charcoal and fine floss pads??
lance wixom you can use a uv sterilizer that will help . If it's in full sun you will suffer from from it.
cool ill have to see if i can find a good one and one that i can install in my piping somewhere somehow lol and its mostly sun.. i just added some floating plants and some plants im putting in the water course also ill put up pics once i get them planted tomorrow:)
Not sure why you would put the bacteria balls in, when you have only just put FMG in the pond.
I would of thought the bacteria balls are for boosting the bacteria level, after the treatment has been performed.
Doesn;t the sterilizer or medications kill your beneficial bacteria as well as bad bacteria?
The medication is fine with beneficial bacteria. And the sterilizer only kills the bacteria, parasites , and algae that comes in to contact with the light that passes by . 👍😀
so did it work
Sure did.😀👍
Where I live people have to cover their ponds to protect them from herons. LOTS of herons.
I guess it's safe for your beneficial bacteria?
Yep it sure is. Thanks for watching.👍😀
Can I use this treatment with water below 10 degrees please?
DO NOT treat with water temperatures below 10 degrees or over 30 degrees.
Remove any Carbon or Zeolite from the filter or pond.
Top up your filter with live bacteria as treatments damages filter bacteria.
DO NOT USE WITH ORFE, RUDD, TENCH OR STERLETS.
@@MARKSAQUATICS any recommendations to treat Trichodina with water temperature around 7 degrees
