Help, I posted in the Koi section, but I reallly need to know how to get

[knix]

citrinila oil from torches out of my pond? or will it hurt my fish? My plants are about done for this year except my grasses.  I had a tiki torch
blow over in the wind and about 8oz of citrinila oil is sitting in my water on the top of my skimmer well. main  pond is about 300 gallons, with a higher pond with about another 200 gallons, we have a skippy up top that it all filters thru-and over the edge of the lower pond to my skimmer/pump well.   However I have about 20 3 inch koi.

anyone have any experiance with spilling oil?

thankyou

You can lay out newspaper on the heaviest spill areas and it will absorb the oil. Once most of it is gone I would suggest overflowing the pond and use a jet spray to push all the oil to one side of the pond so it doesn't leach out all over the place.

Cheers,
