10 gallons is not enough for any koi as a hospital tank---the water will turn bad and be worse for the koi than just leaving it alone-a stress or injured koi needs pristine water to heal and re-coop...shading the pond will help with the algae--the up graded filtration will really help too....keep up water changes about 10% weekly ...that means taking water out and replacing it--not evaporation..... lots of people here do flow thru with well water and are very happy with it--that should also help if you don't have a filter thats quite up to par. and please do stay away from the magic potions....if its a new pond it is going to have to cycle---or if you've done major cleaning--the new filters for sure will have to mature--so keep feeding down to a minimal.... make sure NEVER to scrub the sides of the pond--that algae cover does have a purpose in the whole scheme of things..the fish in the picture looks like a Doitsu--they don't have alot of scales are you sure he has lost any or that he never had them to begin with...He actually doesn't look that bad to me...clean water -no more potions and I think he will be fine...Sorry you've had to loose fish--but, hope all turns around for you....
