I'm finished with Laguna products. I have their Laguna MaxFlow 2900 and it's the most undependable piece of **** I've ever bought. If Sony and Microsoft worked together to bring a product to market even it would be more reliable than this lousy pump. I even hate this thing more than my lousy...

I'm looking to replace my current Tetra pond filter on a 1000 gallon Koi pond with something people are having good luck with.... The problem is my current filter needs to be cleaned at least once per week. I have a fair amount of algae remnants which need to be hosed off of the Prefilter pads...

We have a pretty small pond; one of those kidney-shaped plastic jobs you pick up at Menard's or Home Depot. It nestles snugly in the corner where the steps to our deck meet the pavers bordering our backyard. Probably a foot deep at it's deepest. Last week, a green frog took up residence here. We...

First, I've always had pretty good luck with my pond. I may have pushed it last weekend. My pond has a mixture of some koi and some garden variety comet goldfish. Last Sunday I picked up some new koi as well as about 10 small "feeder" type goldfish.

Any good tips on how to help bring down water temps of 80 degrees. The heat is on, here in OH-- the pond was at 78 degrees yesterday and 81 degrees today. I've been misting the pond for 3 or 4 hours every evening and topping it off with cold water every other day. The pond is about 2200 gals. ...

I was curious if there's a good book out there on defensive pond design. I have been having numerous problems with my latest pond involving the technology that supports it. For example, I've had problems with: 1) The pond draining because the filter overflowed 2) Fish dying because the pump...

I am constructing a 16 sq m butyl-lined wildlife pond. I have built shelves 200mm (8") deep and 500 (18")mm wide. Because the pond is quite large and will need many marginal plants I intend to plant direct into soil on the shelves. I will try to shape the soil under the butyl to provide a small...

Hi.Was just wondering if anyone has tried the "Oasis Tronic"which apparently works by electronic copper ionisation. Sounds like a good way to kill the dreaded blanket weed but would like some advice first before I consider purchasing one.Thanks

Anyone else still checking in? Carol, please do not reply. RP just gets swamped with Off-Topic stuff when you do. Thanks. ~ jan. ----------------- Also ponding troll free at: http://groups.google.com/group/The-Freshwater-Aquarium

I have 2 lilies. One has thrown up a flower about a week ago. Don't know what time it opens, but it starts to close about 5pm. Why do they open and close. The other one has two flower heads at the surface but they don't open. Can someone explain all this, or point me to a website. Ta :) --...

Hello all, the flowers on my lilly are acting weird. After about a day or so on the surface the stem starts to coil, like a spring, and pulls it under water. It doesn't seem to ever come back up. What causes this? and how can I stop it? Thanks Drew

As mentioned in my previous post I am constructing a 16 sq m butyl-lined wildlife pond in Wiltshire, England. I intend having a shallow shelf all round the edge for marginal plants. The pond will be surrounded by a sloping pebble beach. My problem now is in deciding what depth the shelf(s)...

I saw a recent message on green water. I have a 1200 gallon koi pond, and this year the water has been really dark green. I can hardly see the fish. Will this cause the fish to develop ulcers or sickness? I changed the filter and replaced about 2/3 of the water, but it is still very dark. If...

I have a lotus that is just starting to put up leaves, and I have found that one of its three growing points has jumped the pot (I planted it too close to the edge in the first place). I read a newsletter that said that the writer took a runner from a lotus that jumped its pot and replanted it...
