pH tells you where your pond is right now. KH tells you whether it is about to move. Koi ponds consume carbonate hardness continuously through nitrification, respiration and rainfall, and once KH runs out there is nothing anchoring pH at all. It then swings hard overnight, and fish that looked fine at lunchtime are in trouble by morning. Testing pH without testing KH is watching the symptom and ignoring the cause.
This kit covers both hardness measurements: general hardness (GH) in tap and pond water, and carbonate hardness (KH) in tap, fresh or salt water. If you already own a master test kit, KH is the one parameter it does not include, and the one most likely to catch you out. Test monthly, more often after heavy rain or a large water change, and buffer before KH reaches zero rather than after.

Love this place and the staff! Fish are amazing, all sizes and prices. Fish healthy and water clear. Everything we have purchased from here has been free of any health issues and is doing well in our ponds. There is a fish for all price ranges as well and some uncommon goldfish. Staff knows what they are doing and gives good feedback re: any questions.
Always a pleasure to go to Champion Nishikigoi to pick up koi food for our koi pond. The staff is friendly and helpful. They always load the heavy bags of koi food in my car.
I live in Long Island New York. I’ve been buying from Champion for many years and the quality of the koi has always been exceptional and better each year. I have no problem relying on Champion from across the country as my reliable supplier.
Always positive and professional they treat you like family always answer your questions and gove you good solutions
I can easily find the food I need and the price is super competitive .. 👍👍
Beautiful fish. Arrived on the date requested, well packaged and healthy.
Excellent selection of high-quality imported Japanese koi. Everyone at the shop is friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, which makes the experience even better. The owner, Tom, is highly respected among serious koi enthusiasts across the country, and for good reason. His expertise and dedication to the hobby are evident in the quality of the fish and the service provided. Highly recommend!
This company is my go to for Koi; I am very pleased with the beauty of their Koi and the delivery. They all have come in healthy and ready to eat.
We have been shopping at Champion Koi for over 20 years and have had a wonderful experience as local customers with Tom and his family. We highly recommend purchasing from Champion Koi, as you can do so with 100% confidence in receiving the best support and quality products. It is especially worth mentioning their super friendly staff!

My review comes with a bad experience turned immensely positive by the hard working staff at Champion Nishikigoi. I had spent a number of weeks debating on, and finally ordering a Showa upwards of 1k as the jewel of my collection. After purchasing the fish, I was notified that the fish was not in the pond and that it was possible that it was purchased in person earlier that day or that the listing had been updated without the initial listing having been removed. This was extremely disappointing to me. However, the team at Champion Koi personally reached out and the owner made recommendations for replacement. They provided me with a discount on the replacement fish, but more importantly, they actually listened to my concerns and my dismay at the experience. Champion Koi made real observable change as a response updating their website to include a warning about this very rare occurrence and making a guarantee of a 10% credit for anyone who would have a similar experience. It is extremely rare to find a business that cares enough to make actual change based on a customer experience and show that they actually care about their customers. They have certainly earned my business and they should definitely have yours!
Noy was extremely helpful and eliminated all my concerns/worries about ordering online considering I don't live close(Ohio). My gorgeous fish came looking exactly what I was expecting exceeding expectations! I'll definitely be ordering again.
