He'll drink out of the pond but he won't chase the birds away! Silly dog! Actually, I don't think it is a pond anymore. More of a bird bath! He won't even chase them away from his food bowl!

You all were kind enough to help me with pump, liner and filter advice and I thought I would show you my progress. I still need to do alot of planting, but I think it looks pretty good straight out of the box. With some prior preparation, based on rec ponds advice, I was able to get this dug, set...

We have an 11x16 Aquascape pond that is about 3 1/2 years old. We started having issues with the pond not filling to capacity and couldn't find the leak. I also wanted the pond to be a little deeper so I decided to remove the old liner, dig a little, and install a larger liner (the original liner...

Don't install bottom drains. Why? 2 main reasons: 1. You have to cut a hole in the bottom of the rubber liner to fit the drain pipe. No matter how well you plan this and use the top of the line sealants, it will leak. Maybe not in the first 2-3 years, but no matter the claims of sealants, they...

Gooooood morning! Well, that's odd. On Google, it decided to post today's welcome under yesterday's welcome... so I'm adding the day name. Someone suggested putting the letter 'a' in front as their newsreader does thing alphabetically. Maybe I'll throw the date in there too ;-) Anyway.

I've created a couple of ponds in the past and I'm getting ready to do my biggest and best yet. The area I would like to put the pond has two things going for it, as far as creating a natural, clay-lined pond: A - The area I'm now in is fairly heavy clay. B - The water-table in the area where I...

I had a question as to if runoff from a fertilized yard was dangerous to Koi if it got in the pond. I emailed Scott's Company for an answer. This may not apply to you if you have people come and spray stuff on your lawns and plant beds with chemicals that you know nothing about. ----- reply from...

Got 6 elephant ear bulbs at Wal-Mart today. Not labeled as to what type they are. The package showed green leaf and states could get 60" tall. Put in pots with rocks, no dirt or cat liter, and placed some so just so the bottom of bulb in water and some completely under water. Will have to...

I have kept koi of various sizes over the past two years, in mainly small ponds. Upgraded to about an 800 gallon pond last summer. I have kept the same 5 koi and one comet since then until today. One is missing. It was a good sized fish, my largest at 12, maybe 16 inches. Fat. Too big for the...

I have a 3500 gph pump for an aprox. 2500-3000 gal pond. Maybe a 3ft rise and 2in pvc get the flow down to 3000 gph. I am wondering if I need to divert some flow if I build a 100 gal Skippy or if this is an acceptable flow rate for the filter. I know some of you use Skippy filters and would...
