Last night after burying my Ogon, I added another 80 pounds of salt.
Temp: 48 degrees F
Salt: 0.12%
This morning the salinity didn't rise as much as expected.
Temp: 48 degrees F
Salt: 0.14%
I performed a backwash of the bead filter.
This evening the salinity continued to drop. It was a warm day up to 70 degrees, so the temp of the pond is rising.
Salt: 0.10%
Temp 52 degrees F
All the other fish seem to be doing very well. The other large fish is active and seems in good spirits. I'm hopeful that she will survive.
I started to clean the water falls and the biological filter. I should be able to finish this weekend.
I added another 80 pounds of salt. Looks like I'm going through a lot of salt. I bought 400 pounds, expecting to only need 350. At this rate I'll need another 400 just to get the salinity up to 0.20%, plus another 400 to keep it that way for a few weeks.
