I haven’t had to dose drops of dechlor in a LONG time but if I remember correctly, most of the dechlor bottles sold for small tank owners have the one drop per gallon as a dosage… right? It shouldn’t be harming the fish, if overdosing of dechlor is done on occasion, but you don’t […]

The injection spot shown on that website is probably the best one to use in most cases. Syringes that are […]
I have had good luck with a high quality koi clay (calcium bentonite) added at about 5x the recommended dosage for 3 consecutive days. John
Are you keeping 1% in your pond all the time? Why? That’s more of a salt bath level (30 to 60 minutes)… not something you should be keeping the fish in all of the time and I seriously doubt any FW plant will tolerate that level..
