Common
salt, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is commonly used in the health care
and maintenance of fishes, especially Koi. Salt is useful in treatment
for various problems.
Trans
Instruments has specially designed the KoiMedicI
tester to measure the delicate salt concentration in the pond,
measuring in percentage(%). The tester is accurate and easy to
use. All you need to do is turn it on and dip into the pond water.

Most
fish have an internal salt concentration of 1.0% or 10 parts-per-thousand
(ppt) which is higher than their water environment. Osmosis
causes water to transfer from the lower salinity of the pond
water into the tissues of the fish. Addition of salt will lower
the osmosis pressure. This reduces the effort of the fish in
eliminating the excess water. The saved energy is then available
for use by the fish’s own immune system to fight diseases.
On the hand, if the salinity of the water environment is close
to the internal tissues of the fish, the osmosis pressure will
reverse and cause the fish to die of dehydration.
Salt
concentrations between 0.3% and 0.5%(3 to 5ppt) will upset the
osmotic balance of some parasites, i.e. the parasites’
cells will dehydrate. Salt concentration of 0.3% are effective
at reducing the effects of high nitrites. A concentration of
0.25% or higher has been used to control string algae. Nevertheless,
salt can cause pond plant damage as the concentration increases.
Floating plants (water hyacinth, water lettuce, etc.) are affected
at lower concentrations than most bog plants.

The
new generation ECO pH tester now offers enhanced feature like
water resistant, shock resistant, automatic shut off and low
battery indicator
The
Eco pH pocket tester features a clear, easy to read, 8mm 3½-digit
LCD display. The unit utilises a glass electrode in conjunction
with the reference electrode and two point calibration which provides
guaranteed accuracy over the life of the Eco pH.
Shock
Resistant - withstand a drop of up to six feet
Splash proof - will remain afloat so as to
enable user to retrieve immediately without damage to the sensitive
electronics in the unit.

There
are many water quality variables in a pond system, but only
a few of these normally play an important role. Raised levels
of ammonia or nitrite, sub-optimum pH and water hardness levels,
or a high level of organic pollution. These imbalances will
be stressful to koi and other fish; predisposing them to disease.
