Simulating a winter?
Hi All,
What month by month temperatures do you try to achieve when heating? Do you simulate seasons? I have heard it is good to have at least 1 month of ultra cold temperatures to kill off the bad bacteria and parasites? Is this true?

I dont think theres a temperature you could drop too, that would kill bacteria and parasites before it killed the koi tbh.

We certainly had the month of ultra cold temperatures with the beast from the east. My pond isn't heated but its deep enough thankfully.
Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
