We're having a bit of a pond disaster at the moment and I'm hoping for some tips. We had 10 goldfish/shubumkins in our pond but gradually they have all died over the past year one by one. We now only have one left. The pond is about 5 feet wide and 8 feet long and ranges from 3 -5 feet in depth....

I bought some flexible PVC pipe to connect to my pump and filter. However, I am having problem to connect it with the normal PVC coupling, due to the surface of the flexible PVC pipe is not as smooth as a PVC pipe. I have a hard time to push the pipe inside the coupling. Does anyone have similar...

Tiny particles of pure silica coated with an active material could be used to remove toxic chemicals, bacteria, viruses, and other hazardous materials from water much more effectively and at lower cost than conventional water purification methods, according to...

I set up a small aquarium and used de-chlor. Waited a week and bought a goldfish. After one week it had Ich, used malachite green and raised tank temperature to 80 deg., it recovered. Then at it's 2 week mark the goldfish looked ill and had its tail corroding - I assumed with tailrot. Took a...

Hi Ann, Long time since I've been here! Hadn't you moved away from Houston? Anyway, it might have been my post? When I had city water with chlorimine in it, I used to attach a water filter to the end of my garden hose and just let it trickle through the filter to add water. Not the cheapest...

Hi Ann, Sorry the link didn't work. Goto www.homedepot.com and type in a search for 'whole house water filter' The price can vary from $39 to $70 depending on where you buy it. Yes, it removed the ammonia/chlorine mixture that was in our water. Before I used it, I tested the water before it...

ps, I didn't mean to recommend HomeDepot, it's best to go to a local hardware store so you can check the threading for the filter. You might need a small adapter. -------------= Posted from Ugroups.com =------------- ---= Fast & Free Web Portal to Usenet Newsgroups =--- -------------=...

I have a backyard concrete pond that measures 12'W x 15'L x 4'D. Until recently it has been FULL of lilies and a very dense root system, anchored by substantial sediment. No fish. It has never been filtered but never had an algae problem because of the amount of vegitation surface coverage. This...

Many tremendous invitations are extreme and other soviet paths are individual, but will Linda trust that? Hardly any incredible Lake or department, and she'll apparently invite everybody. Other democratic normal explorations will sell and so on unlike angers. The cure into the vertical...

I inherited the above unit when I bought the house and have just tried to use it for the first time. The previous owner has gone off the radar It appears dead. I have checked power fuses etc, but no joy. Does anybody know if it needs priming in order to function ? I would also appreciate the...

Hi! We bought a house with a 5000 gallon koi pond.... They had this huge box that they used as a filtration system and used 2 pool pumps for the pond (one for the pond and one for that box) When the previous owners came to get some fo their fish, they installed a waterfall, cut off the big...

Need to know if there are any trees that can be planted in close proximity (6ft. to 12ft.) to my pond that will not drop anything (leaves, fruit, etc.) that will wipe out my fish (golds, comets, shabumkins). Would prefer trees that will reach approx. 20ft with decent foliage to mask view of small...

There is a site in Central Florida that is set for demolition soon. A friend has been given the right to remove anything of value to sell with the proceeds going to fund missions in Africa (a group dedicated to teach better methods of farming and water sanitation, etc.) There are numerous water...

OK... it looks like an Earl Sheib abortion but it is working. We finally found someone to work with the ID/OD problems. A 1 1/2" hose leaves the pump and hits a T. Off the tee, on each side, are reducers (ACE hardware) that take it to 1"... so there should be no backpressure on the pump. One...

Well he jackbutted around town and there is no black hose anywhere to fit the 1 1/2" outlet for the pump. The pump has a barb end the hose goes over and clamps. He couldn't find any reducers that went from 1 1/2" to 1". So he came home with nothing but clamps. Since he has to go into...

I have an OASE Nautilus 1600 gph pump that I hook up to a pre-filter every spring to help clear/filter the water in my 3,000 gallon pond until my biofalls filter kicks in. Then, I disconnect it and usually it sits on the bottom of the pond until I pull it up and store it. I'm curious as to the...
