Default Outdoor FGT problem

Hey guys,

I've a 6ft By 3ft FGT partially exposed to the weather

Have cycled the water but somehow, after raining - all my fish turned belly up. Have been keeping goldfish, Koi and even Catfish - yes even the catfish died in there!

Have bought test kits to check on the water parameters and the reading looks fine.

Any recommendations on pond specialist that I can turn to - the last one made changes to my filter box but problem still persist.

Thanks

Rain water fall into your fgt from the roof or direct from the sky.

recent mosquito control, fogging, insecticide spreading, etc...
rain water might not be so safe for fishes after all.
however, it is not conclusive for now.

can you share with us a description of your set up, as noidea asked, how did rain water get into your tank? direct from the sky, flowed through roof gutters, etc?

Could be many things. Like change water even a little need to add anti chlorine. Acid rain. Any algae boom? Upstairs or from outside got people sabo.

Hey guys - the rainwater run off from my patio roofing before pouring down on to the ground. In the process, inevitably, some would flow into the FGT
