What an unpleasant surprise when I went outside this morning. There was a very 'nice' storm here in Colorado Springs last night and the drumming of the rain was a great sleep aid. However when I went out side there were leaves all over the place and as I checked on the small water lily pads I...

Mold Now Growing In Twinkie Freddie's Dirty Tent Twinkie the inept Netkkkop Freddie bawled: **** Twinkie, you seem upset. ;)

Anyone have good mail order sources for plants and fish? Are there any places or people interested in trading plants and fish? I am currently stocking a new pond and I am looking for reasonably priced resources. I got some reeds, lots of anacharis, and water cabbage from my old pond. I will...

I got up early this morning to a steady light rain and decided to check out the 'porgs'. The pond is partially beneath a large oak tree, so half of the pond doesn't get rained on like the half out in the open (duh). The goldfish were in a spawning frenzy - ALL of them! I've got eggs and...

Oh, well, kind of like stepping over the occasional doggie poo when you're walking in a park--I'm still not going to stop going to the park ---or reading and posting to rec.ponds... Kirsten

Somewhat foolishly, I invited the in and out laws to my place following the traditional cemetery tour; my two daughters, a couple of grandkids, and people whose connections are too complicated for a brief post. But, a good group, and they know Martha Stewart has disavowed all knowledge. Senior...

Hello everyone. It's been probably 2 years since I've been to rec.ponds. I'm the one that updated the rec.ponds FAQ a couple of years ago (http://www.geocities.com/justinm090/faq.html). I've been away for a long time because I'm now in medical school. I have no idea what brought me back to lurk at...

I have a 2500 gallon pond with about a dozen koi. One of them is around 5 years old, 15" to 18" long. He is constantly lifting his head above the water as if grabbing bugs. I thought this was what he was doing, but someone said that he most likely is going for air. I accepted that for a minute...

I am sure this has been posted many times, so please excuse me. A while back I saw a post about using UV filters to remove algae. This puzzles me. Algae thrives on UV from sunlight, so how do these filters differ? How efficient are they? I have a 120 gal pond and am considering a filter which...

Have any of you tried this product in your ponds? It was recommended to me by a friend who has Koi. (Snip) Calcium Montmorillonite clay (AKA: Bentonite Clay) Terra Pond=99 is a complete nutrient source that clarifies and detoxifies pond water, Improves fish color and conformation, Improves fish...

How do I raise the alkalinity content in my pond water, its low.

The previous owners of our house built an absolutely stunning example of a horrible pond - it would lose around 40 gallons a day to leaks. We decided to destroy and replace it, and we would have succeeded too - had it not been for the fact that the bottom of the pond was built with reinforced...

Hi, I have just purchased 7, 3-4 inch koi. Could anyone tell me how much i should feed them and when?
