Pond Summerization
Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:42 pm
For those of us in hotter climates, I'd appreciate a little discussion about pond summerization. In the Baton Rouge, LA area lately (July-Aug), we have seen ambient temperatures averaging around 100 DegF in the afternoon with humidity in the 90's. What is the range of good water temperatures for Koi? Is there a danger zone to beware of for their safety?
With this concern, I clean my filter a little more often to make sure I have maximum water flow from my waterfall. I have also recently tried to increase the shady areas of my pond by floating a large piece of styrofoam in my pond during the hottest part of the day. Please reply with any other suggestions or comments.
