Does anyone have a favorite product that actually works? I can't recall the name of the last product I used but I know it was worthless and not cheap. After the spring algae bloom there is often a mulm on the bottom of my ponds that the filter isn't catching. -- Koi-Lo.... Frugal ponding since...

Can anyone suggest the BEST koi foods with the least fillers? About how much can one expect to pay for these feeds and where are they to be found? I notice in my catalogs the ingredients are not listed. With 400 less koi and GF to feed I may get them a bag. What products are you using and which...

I have a small pond and put in an underwater light last year(50W, Alpine). It worked great for some months and then it stopped working. I went to replace the bulb and found that water had leaked into its housing. What can cause that? Is Alpine a defective product? Thanks for any...

I have a ton of what I think are Toad eggs in my plant in my pond. (Long strings of tiny black dots,after I "walked in" on the act yesterday) I want to Have my kids see them grow into toads, should I turn off my pond filter to prevent the tadpoles from getting sucked in?

I can't get pickerel weed to grow. I thought it was sturdy stuff. It languished last year. I got a few stalks and a bloom but it wasn't growing fast or well. I think I had it too deep, submerged about 8". this year I moved it to about 5", and finally to where the water is at its roots. It's...

Looking for advice on replacing my Aquascape 1500. I want to keep the flow as close as possible to the 1500, a little less would be OK. I've found pumps with a higher flow rate, but my setup is already at the limit & I don't really want to use extra power & have to add another discharge to dump...

He/she also points his head down at a 45degree angle and stays in the same place for ages. His/her tail looks a bit raggy too. I was hoping someone might be able...

Hi What are your thoughts on planting pond plants in standard garden clay. When I dug the pond last year I had about 2ft of top soil and then straight into clay. I just fancied doing quite a lot of planting / transplating & wanted to avoid the cost of buying a lot of compost from the pond...
