I do have a UV, but I think it was just particles in the water as the filter just was not doing the job. I have been very surprised at the difference this fast also, but I have seen it with my own eyes. I can see my favorite Chagoi past 1 foot for the first time in almost a year. Good thing they are friendly or I would have never seen him.

What I really like about this thread, is that it points out how important good filtration really is. The only way to achieve good filtration is to understand what you need to filter and how it works. We have so many people we come across that spend all of their money on Koi and not filtration. Filtration is always evolving, and we need to understand the environment the pond is in and the fish load.
I am glad to read that you are having good results. Congratulations!
