Basic Equipment
Whether you are experienced Koi - Keeper or just starting out, here is a list of equipment that we have found not only useful, but essential to good Koi - Keeping.
- WATER PURIFIER A must for removing hazardous substances from the mains water.
- WATER TEST KIT The use of test kits is the way you may monitor water conditions (AMMONIA, NITRITE, pH, NITRATE & OXYGEN).
- POND VACUUM. For keeping the bottom of the pond clear of debris (Even if you have a bottom drain).
- HIGH BLOW This is an air pump, to ensure adequate oxygen levels in both pond and filter.
- SHALLOW PAN NET A shallow net is less likely to damage your fish than a landing net (Your net must be big enough for your biggest fish).
- LARGE PLASTIC BOWL For inspection and treatment of fish.
- QUARANTINE FACILITIES. A VAT or other suitable tank for quarantine or treatment purposes.
- MICROSCOPE. A must for identifying Parasites on fish.
