Pond Myth #12: It's ok to use chemicals in your pond.
|
This one comes from the swimming pool industry. If chlorine is good for humans in the local swimming pool industry, then chemicals must be okay for fish and the plants in the pond. Products like algaecide (copper sulfate), dechlorinator (sodium thiosulfate), and fish antibiotics are commonly used as quick-fix solutions to balance related problems. In the end, your best bet is to attack the root cause of the problem and make sure that you have a naturally balanced pond installed that allows Mother Nature to take care of all the maintenance issues. |
