All updated.

I'm down to 12.2 today.

I noticed some of you have commented about trying to avoid temperatures between 10 and 16, should I remove my cover until the water gets below 10?

[miles41]

My temp has also dropped

Current temp is 12.7°c

Time 10:35

Just done my weekly backwash and it's not been as bad as previous weeks, fish seem to be slowing down a bit now.
I haven't put my covers on yet John, but won't be long now I guess, hope to maintain 10°c.

[Kanundra]

Why avoid between 10 -16 d? never heard that before....

I've always kept mine at 12d and then 6d when it went really really bad at -15

Pinnacle said this:

Koi's immune systems start to decline below 16 degrees. Parasites have a tolerance above 10 degrees. Hense the reason for keeping the pond at 16 or above or just below 10
