July Pond conditions

July 23 Pond Conditions
water temp 76*, Air temp 92*
Ammonia – 0
Nitrite – .1 (nearly zero)
Nitrate – 5(nearly zero)
PH 8.2
water color – Greenish, not clear to bottom.

Adding 2 tsp Koi clay daily to see if it improves water quality as testimonials indicated on web site.
Changing large filter water every other day, @ 120 gallons.
Still leaking 1 inch every day, faster when topped up than when below skimmer level. But skimmer faceplate. does not appear to be leaking, suspect the waterfalls or perhaps a small hole in the lining that I can not see. Will remove cover stones this weekend to investigate further.
