Acids and alkalis. Most freshwater lakes, streams, and ponds have a natural pH in the range of 6 to 8. Acid deposition has many harmful ecological effects when the pH of most aquatic systems falls below 6 and especially below 5.

The goldfish Carassius auratus) has also been introduced to many ponds and lakes in North America, either deliberately as an ornamental fish, or more-or-less accidentally when unwanted pet goldfish were released into nearby ponds, or just flushed down a toilet. Like the common carp, alien populations of goldfish cause important ecological damage in many of the places where they have become well established. 

Water Obtained from healthy, ecologically active pond Water level should be set in the beginning and not allowed to vary more than 10% throughout study if water level falls more than 10%, add pond water, fresh well water, or rain water if water level rises more than 10 %, surplus should be released and retained...
