I have about a 300 gallon plastic pond with a submersible pump that has a built-in "cage" that holds a fist-sized filter. The water is pumped up to an external biological filter and also to a waterfall. This spring the pond was so pea soupy that I totally emptied it and started from scratch and...

Hi I've got two filters running into a 1600 gal pond. One is a pressurized UV type at 5000 lts & the other is a 9000 lts biological box type. They work fine but as ever I'm looking for better water clarity / quality. I seem to remember reading somewhere that adding an air stone into the media of...

Hi I have just bought a house with a fairly small pond 15ftx6ftx2ft and a couple dozen goldfish in it. I have cleared out a lot of plants and sludge - I don't think the pond has been cleaned for years (it is lined). I found a OASE Aquarius 2500 pump in the bottom. Can anybody tell me what...

when i was working in Munich 6 years ago, i saw an infomercial on tv. it was for a modular, click together pond system. the basic idea being all joints between sections were identical. You could have streams built from click together fibreglass sections, emptying into ponds of various shapes etc....

I got it when I bought some water lilies, didn't seem that bad until yesterday when I tugged at it and the whole entire pond moved at the same time. I chopped some of it out and moved the rest within the pond to allow the water lily to flower. Obviously the difficulty is damselfly eggs, sporn,...

Today, I observed the water boatmen in our small garden pond raft up in a kind of star shape. I have never seen this behaviour before, and I wonder if anyone could explain it to me? Here is a photo. The actual insects are about one centimetre...

I am new to Google groups. Perhaps you can advise me. I have a kids pool at my home that holds 713 gallons. I haven't found a good solution for filtering the pool. All the pool filters for small pools are poor quality, and not worth the money. I was recently directed to pond filters. I know...
