Traditional water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ORP) is only a partial view of the liquid environment of our koi. Other factors are current, and room (vertical and horizontal) needed to develop muscles and bone structure. Most show tanks are like a water gardens in that there is little to no current and little room (vertical or horizontal). So as soon as QT was over, I move the tosai into the pond where they have room to grow and experience all 4 seasons.
