Ph- 7.8
Ammonia- 2.00
Nitrite- .25
Nitrate- 10
So looks like im going through the cycle again
Just did a 80% water change on both ponds
Might have to add some cycles media from my sump inside
Would it speed up the process if I use the water from my 6x2x2 inside to refill the ponds for the water change ?

Meanwhile, keep up the water changes until it catches up.

As stated mate had Marron in there and they realy trashed the water did a large water change to clean the pond out. Probly over exadurating abit though 80% max
But an update: lost a couple more over the next few days but mainly only the ones that were really battered (damage was already done) haven't lost any out of the big pond. So looks like I disturbed the filtration on the smaller ponds filter don't know how maybe left it off for to long or maybe just was taking longer to cycle then the other ponds filtration
Thanks for all the advice guys

agreed large water changes arent a problem... look at it this way you buy a new fish from the shop to acclimatise it you float it to get similar temp and you add water to the bag intermitantly to get it used to the water chemistry from your tank... this fish will be receiving a large waterchange
now look at it this way you have drained out 80% of your tank... to get your fish acclimatised to the new water your changing with you simply add it at a slow rate so the fish acclimatise to the changes slowly... much the same as the bag theory in the above statement...
simply removing 80% tank water and filling it back up with bucket or other method immediately is prob asking for trouble... but do it over an hour and it should be fine....
pump water in from a water reservoir pre treated with water conditioner and do it reasonably slowly...

Don't know if this is the precious cause for fish dieing though as I have never seen him up near ponds and I havn't had a problem in that pond since last time and all fish were just floating in the ponds before. I'm wondering If the koi jumped out and then the dog got it what's everyone think?? great way to start your bday hey lol
