Keep in mind that fish do indeed urinate, and defecate and with a large population this equates to hundreds of pounds a year turning your pond into a poisonous cess pool of sorts. Water changes , or constant influxes of fresh water would seem to eliminate this


Jason, if you have anything more than a slight trace of nitrites in your pond, you have seriously bad things going on....a pond is not an aquarium.....
