| Preparing for spring |
|
Well spring is just around the corner folks....as a matter of fact I see spring walking this way right now!
Every pond keeper and Koi keeper can't wait for spring after a hard winter, some less harsh then others some darn brutal!
Here in San Diego we don't have a real four season type year, either were hot or were cold. Very short in between weather changes, spring season and fall season. Most overall water temp is in the mid 40's to low 50's depending on what part of county you reside. To sum it up were in ideal wintering conditions and don't have a need to heat/cover our ponds.
For some of you will need to take some extra steps in wintering your Koi over. One is to cover your pond and use a heating system of some sort. You also want to keep your system online while doing this. Here again you will stop feeding at around 50 and keep the temperature around the 45-48 degree range, and maintain this for the next 6-10 week period.

| Are you ready for spring? Check list |
|
Ok just threw this together........basic checklist of items that you may use in everyday care and keeping of Koi if they become sick. You can download and add to it if there are things not listed you may use. This is just an template to get you started.
Its best to think ahead and have this list of items around. Thus not having to scramble at the last minute looking for items or a weekend.
Even for us seasoned ponders it can act as a quick reminder. |

Why wait till spring for a clean out! Have your pond healthy and ready for spring, this allows the pond to come into its own natrual balance in spring and be in full bloom. If you have Koi this will allow less stress coming from winter into spring. Allowing there natrual inmune system to build up. Ponds with excessive mulm and debris will allow pathogens to take root before fish's inmune system has fully kicked in.
