Im up to 28 degrees by day now .. currently still feeding low-medium density (Koi Control recommendations) for Nisai-Tonsai. Would you have moved to Colour or Balanced ? What temperature would you stop feeding -- assuming I can't get down?
Im still feeding 80% Growth -- 20% colour as they sees as hungry as ever.

Was planning on just feeding saki this year, but the endless supply of fly larvae from the shower tray is providing more food than required. So upping the saki will have to wait for now.
Oh well, at least something is free in the koi hobby.

so i've split the 15kg (actually 16kg when i weighed it ) bag in two, half in my sealed container for use in the next 2 - 3 months.
and half vacuum packed, and put away.
with a 2024 best before date, in a vacuum sealed pack, and put in a cool dark room (the pantry) i reckon it will keep until next year easy, if i don't end up using it...

yes i would probably stop feed much above 28C as oxygen can become an issue and feeding adds another O2 load.
the problem is if you get another load on oxygen like sudden drop in air pressure, from a thunder storm.
it can rob a pond of available oxygen very quickly....like a bottle of pop opened...Last edited by davethefish1; 03-07-2022 at 05:04 PM.

I'm sure you'll get though all that food Dave! I have used nearly 10k already since May when I started feeding, although I think they have only been really having it 8 times a day for the last 2 weeks! I opened the old bag of large SH growth I got a little while back on the Friday 2 weeks ago and would guess I have around 1.25k left of that now, still probably 2k of colour as feeding less of that now but will mix it with about 3k of the medium new SH growth I got last weekend once the large stuff is done and feed until the colour runs out then it will be pure growth till the temps permit!

My June / July pond temps from 2020, logged each time I do water tests:
3rd June 2020 =20C
15th June 2020 =21C
27th June 2020 =23C
10th July 2020 =20C
21st July 2020 =21C
29th July 2020 =22C
So far this year:
5th June =14C
10th June =15C
16th June =17C
25th June =18C
30th June =18C
4th July =18C
Quite a contrast really with early and late june temps showing a 6C difference between the 2 years.
2021 temps were somewhere in the middle of those 2 years, but I only did one water test in the whole of July so not suitable to use 2021 as a comparison.

i'm currently at 23.5C but only with covering every night with the polycarb at 10pm just before the lights go out.
and 5-7 kwh heating on economy 7 every day...@ £1.05 to £1.47 a day.
i was expecting the heater only to be used during gaps in the warm weather, but the gaps in warm weather now join together...
