Hi all
its been a while since I was last on this forum but I have a question:
so I have set up a 155 gallon or about 550 litres raised pond. it is planted with various reeds, water weeds and pong lilies. it has been cycled for about 3 weeks now. I just went out to test the water and the results came back fine apart from KH but my water always has really high KH. anyway, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, GH all were fine in the safe range. but I know in most cases ponds can take up to a month or more to cycle. I am experiencing large hair allege growth and would like to get my fish in soon to help cut back also I love the fish.
What should I do is it already cycled after 3 weeks?, I will be getting the fish this weekend if everything is alright.
secondly, my plants have not grown very well yet should I wait for them to get a bit bigger before adding my goldfish.
thanks
