June 1, 2011 - Added three Muck Defense Tabs.
June 2, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter pad media. Added several scoops of Koi Clay to the pond after mixing it in a bucket.
June 3, 2011 - Did a 15 - 20% water change. Added about 12oz of MicrobeLift PL, 25ml of KoiZyme, and 2 oz of liquid barley plus peat. Rinsed off the skimmer filter pad media.
June 4, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter media pad.
June 5, 2011 - Took the barley bail out of the pond, the Koi were picking at it and there is now barley pieces throughout the entire pond area.
June 6, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter media pad. Have been going 2 days between pad rinses. The pump has not started to be choked off, so I might be able to get 3 days, but the skimmer is filled with debris. The Koi are eating and picking at the Lilly's.
June 8, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter media pad. Added 1oz of OneFix.
June 10, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter media pad.
June 11, 2011 - Added 12oz of MicrobeLift PL, 2oz of liquid barley + peat, and 25ml of KoiZyme.
June 12, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter pad media.
June 14, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter pad media.
June 15, 2011 - Pumped off about 4" of water from the rains we received the past two days. 1.5" on Tuesday, and 2.25" on Wednesday. Showed Aaron how to rinse off the skimmer filter pad media today.
June 16 - June 30 - Did my weekly maintenance of adding 12oz of MicrobeLift PL, 2oz of liquid barley + peat, and 25ml of KoiZyme, and cleaning of the pond skimmer filter media which now can go three days before it starts to choked off the pump. For some reason the Koi have been uprooting some of the lily plants, even lifting large pond rock from the top of the kitty litter I use as planting media. Very strange, I have not witnessed this behavior, just came to this assumption. Had to re-pot several of my plants that I found in my skimmer.
