Hello fellow Water Gardeners!!! Well, spring is quickly approaching and over the winter my water garden became just horrible. The water garden is about 12'x8'x2'. It is oval shaped and has two water falls. The pump has been not been running. The water is very black, and I can imagine there is a...

I have been using a Pondmaster Pump in my pond. It is a 1500 gph pump and has been a pretty good pump, although I have had to replace the impeller twice. It recently died and I was wondering what other options are out there. I need a pump that is low maintenance and can handle a bit of abuse if...

Does anyone hava any experience of a pond liner material called "Maxipool". It is 1/2millimetre thick, looks like PVC. It was recommended for a 60 sq.ft. garden pond by the local "pond centre" in preference to 1mm butyl, which would surely have been more profitable. "Maxipool" is described...

I have decided to put up some kind of electric fence around my pond to keep out otters (mainly) and other koi predators if necessary. I have seen ads for a couple of products by Fi Shock - specifically the 'Pond Guardian' kit and another similar kit with straight poles marketed as a 'small...

Hi all Was wondering if anyone may have any ideas on the mysterious illness that we have been unable to solve in my boyfriends pond. I noticed that one of the fish in the pond has something wrong with his eye. On closer inspection the eye had gone white and had a fungus growing from it with a...

I'm still feeding my fish due to the mild weather for this time of year in the UK. They don't seem too bothered when I throw the food in, so I only do it once or twice a week. Should I be doing it more often or not at all until next summer? I've also heard that a ball of some kind in the water...
