Michel Dardenne's selection at Aquiflor

This selection brings together the products recommended by Michel Dardenne, who provides ongoing support on Facebook groups dedicated to ponds and koi: clays, bacteria, KH and GH minerals, water treatments, and food for koi ponds.

His principles for a koi pond

• Respect the volume: no koi in ponds under 4 m³, no sturgeon in ponds under 10 m³.
• Combine mechanical filtration, biological filtration, and oxygenation.
• During the season, replace 5 to 20% of the volume each week with controlled tap or well water, not rainwater.
• Maintain the KH between 4 and 8 to stabilize the pH, by changing the water or adding KH+.
• Every week, add 10 g/m³ of clay after the water change and 2.5 g/m³ of BaoBio in the filter.

Aquiflor's advice

Prevention is better than cure: regular monitoring avoids repeated treatments. In spring and autumn, he recommends adding a product like Malamix 17 and a course of vitamins mixed with the food. In summer, a product like Anarex Bio supports the filter bacteria. Supertab, Virkon, Green Control, or Pond Repair help limit bacterial pressure and filamentous algae, by respecting the dosages.
