| What Effect Does Lime Have On Concrete Fish Pond? by TRIDEK: 5:58pm On Jul 27, 2012 |
I am new in fish farming and about to stock new concrete fish pond and someone advised to use lime in rubbing the pond surface, to reduce the effect of cement in the pond. We then applied it and some else now came and said it was not necessary on concrete pond.Which is which, my people? Again, now we are about to wash the lime off, but it became extremely difficult to wash it off complete with water. Please is there any chemical to use to remove it completely and what effect does the lime have on the fish by the time we put them there if we can not achieve complete removal of the lime applied? Please help. |

It is not necessary to use lime in a concrete pond. All you needed to do to neutralise the effect of the cement was to use plantain leaves to rub the body of your pond and soak the leaves in the pond for some days and wash later with water or you simply put 2-3 tied bags of poultry litter into the pond filled with water. You leave the litter in the pond for 2 weeks and you remove and wash the pond with water. Lime is mainly used in earthen pond to fight fungi infection. You may however stock your pond as the effect of your lime must have worn out 1 Like |
