REC, good info. The answer is YES, I want to hear the long one too. I always enjoy the info in your posts. What are some good ways to increase calcium intake levels while keeping gh and kh the same? You already stated sodium is more important than calcium, so if folks have sodium bentonite based clay, and use salt, how can we get calcium into our koi for those of us who love HUGE koi and not raise our gh and kh? Can I just toss some garden dirt in there for that?

I like my ph at 6.8-7.4 and my gh and kh right where they are or even a tad lower, for the color development and other health benefits, and adding things that will raise kh or gh is just not an option to me. Does the growth food contain enough of it to sustain larger koi and maximum growth?
