Also wihile you are at it you might want to treat the pond with superverm to make sure. From there you should be feeding light anyways, since the temps are not hot enough to feed higher protein food. You can use Microlift to boost the bio or a product called ABA....When the bio becomes back online in 2 months after cleaning it is ready for summer feeding.....

Just wondering if all koi are in excellent health. No symptom of any disease, is that still good to use QuickCure, Paracide Green, or Proform C to kill off any bad bacteria?
