Sorry for always showing up. I always point out that we don't have the practice of KOI keepers using test kits to check water quality, and it's a pity you don't have reports on KOI swimming, behaviour and surface changes, as it is our practice to sense these and use them to make adjustments. When that becomes a priority and is put into practice, the day will come when people will be able to empathise with the fact that test kits are unnecessary, as we do.

Sorry for always showing up. I always point out that we don't have the practice of KOI keepers using test kits to check water quality, and it's a pity you don't have reports on KOI swimming, behaviour and surface changes, as it is our practice to sense these and use them to make adjustments. When that becomes a priority and is put into practice, the day will come when people will be able to empathise with the fact that test kits are unnecessary, as we do.
