BV,

This article has been around or has been reproduced in one form or another
for many years. Like I have said before this and related articles is for
"Aquaculture." I have been in touch with Ruth's department and they make no
translation for backyard ponds and suggest no recommendations for use of
salt in backyard KOI ponds or any other kind of ornamental ponds. This
article is for "Aquaculture."

If you are dealing with stocking concentrations of 1/2 pound to one pound
of fish per gallon of water then use the recommendations in this article,
but if you are running a KOI pond with one fish per 1,000 gallons and then
additional KOI per 100 gallons, you need to leave your salt on the kitchen
table or around the stove, because this article doesn't pretain to you and
your situation.

Sorry Tom, I was intending to say I had intent to salt the pond. I prefer
salt on my hard boiled eggs, not in my pond.

I just thought it was an interesting article, and since this has been a
"fun" topic here before, it was worth posting. Note my subject line...I do
mention aquaculture, so I am right there with you.

BV.

BTW, welcome back. Where the hell have you been?

This is what I get for posting at night when I am tired. I meant to say I
was NOT NOT NOT NOT intending to salt my pond, nor encourage anyone to do
so.

Thanks BV,

I had open heart surgery on the 30th of November and had some parts
replaced. Recovering is going good, it is just amazing to me how tiring
working at a computer can be.

Glad to hear you are doing better, and happy to see you back.

Be sure to take a salt dip from time to time.

Your right Jan,

My valve is carbon fiber and titanium. And ticking is what it does, but not
as loud as a pig valve, plus is cost a little bit more than a Timex.

This is a lie. Dr. Floyd was Jo Ann's teacher and that is where Jo Ann learned to
use salt in ponds and tanks. Ingrid

There's no call to be using language like that. There's no inconsistency
between one person learning to use salt in ponds based on some research,
and the research organization saying that they make no recommendations
about such. Dr. Floyd's research clearly _isn't_ related to small ponds
and you, as a researcher, should understand how irresponsible it would be
for the researchers to extrapolate their data to something they didn't
know.

Ingrid,

As usual, you don't know what you are talking about.

Ruth is in Aquaculture dealing with the Aquaculture community. You can take
her aquaculture techniques and translate to a pond if you want, but that
doesn't say that she is promoting these techniques for the backyard pond.
You seem to think that Jo Ann and you are the only ones that have access to
these people, and that is a bunch of horse crap. Come on Ingrid, get you
head out of the sand, phones, internet and email make everyone accessable.

You can call me all the names in the world like you have in the past, but
that doesn't change the fact that just because Jo Ann took a couple of
courses with anyone has made an her expert or more knowledgealbe than others
in the field, especially the field of Aquaculture, which is the field of
expertise for Ruth, not back yard ponds. She may have suggested something
to Jo Ann in private over a cup of coffee, but there is nothing published
that supports it or your premise. Plus you always make it sound like Ruth
was Jo Ann's private tutor, she was in a class with other individuals.

I was in a class taught by Dr. Getz, a leader in the purification of Uranium
235, who's final research was the break through that allowed America's
plants to produce for bomb quality Uranium, but that doesn't make me an
expert in Uranium 235 purification. I was also in classes with the
gentleman who won the Noble Prize for his apparatus that first liquidified
Helium, but being in those classes doesn't make an expert in the this
apparatus or the process either.

So Jo Ann in the class with Ruth doesn't make her an expert either, so get
it together
