hi all, pond has been running since july with koi in it, this is the 1st time ive tested the water ( i know i know please dont have ago at me)

these are the results

water temp 4 degrees

PH 7.6 (should i be testing for high range?)
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 0ppm

i did a half water change 2 weeks ago as i had a over flowing filter

any advice would be great

perfect lol things should all be ok at this time of year as alot of us are not feeding any more and fish have slowed right down. with readings like that you have nothing to worry about. you will need to start testing alot more when spring comes and you start feeding again. mark

No probs there mate

what sort of things should i get in ready for spring in case levels change?

markf1fan

some good filter start would help when temps start going up again. also good water changes is always a good thing to do when your levels start going up.
