Any thoughts on Using the fishless cycle on (2 ) new 165 gallon outside koi ponds.
I will not be able to heatthe water to get the cycling fast like an aquarium but it will take a little longer.
My concern is the ammonia in the water , I don't want to have an animal or bird drink from it and get sick or poisoned. Im sure I can make a cover
It looks like alot of the koi pond forms just use fish and the fish waste and let the bio filter build up over time. I was hopeing to seed the bio filter with some of my indoor filter media and use ammonia like we do with aquariums. I have alot of ammonia left over from the 2 55 gallon takes I just did. What do you guys think?
