Yesterday I cleaned out the upper pond and reset some of the stones along the back edge which had fallen and become unstable. I sucked out all of the muck with a shop vac then filled with water.Today I rinsed off the plants put them back in the pond and then treated with a strong dose of Potassium Permanganate. No fish in there yet so I doubled the recommended dose. 5 hours of treatment and I will deactivate it with hydrogen peroxide.
Tonight I will oxygenate the water and put a fish in. I still need to slowly bring down the temp on the QT tank to this pond's temperature.
