Greetings!

We really are still here, ready to talk about all things pond-related, no
matter what it looks like sometimes!

The big news in my area is HEAT!!!! Let's hear suggestions for keeping the
ponds & fish cool -- not to mention keeping *our* cool here in rec.ponds,
please.

==========================
I covered over all but my largest pond with white sheets and old curtains.
The lace let too much sun through so I used a solid but thin curtain
instead. The water still became very warm (90s) and a few young koi died.
It just rained here but the temp' didn't drop much. The humidity is around
100%. It's awful.
