has anyone tried this product for their koi pond? http://www.multicoat.com/pwf.html my LA just alerted me to it. thanks

Ok, now that I have your attention - A couple of years ago during a prolonged period of brain-fade I purchased a bottle of supaverm from KoiStuff.com. Despite clear notification that it will kill goldfish I bought it anyway and now cant use it as I like both my koi and goldfish. It says on the...

Two seventy degree days in a row here caused me to poke around my pond. All my Koi are active and lived. I had covered 98% of my pond with a pool cover (basically bubblewrap) and used a heater to keep it from freezing over with 2 airstones. I tested the water temp last night and it was over 60...

Courtesy of a pond expansion last fall, I have a preformed liner (about 100 gallons) that I'm thinking about using as a lily pond. I can put in direct sun and make it look nice. The lilies didn't do well in my pond since I think they didn't get enough sun--still won't if I put them back in the...

I have an above ground pond with a rubber liner. The line the recirculates the water from the lower pond to the upper pond is a pvc pipe (plumbing variety. It pierces the rubber lining below the water line of the upper pond. This penetration leaks. Are there any recommendation on how to fix...

Hello, has anybody ever used blue or any colour dye in their ponds ? I find it very attractive and helps reduce some algae growth.

One of my Koi has died ,it became lethargic I put it into isolation with some treatment for fungal bacterial ect diseases and then returned to main pond.After a few days it died there was no external indication of any problems other than its behaviour.I have tested the water and its OK. I am very...

Hi people wonder if anyone can help me i have had a pond in my garden for about 3 years now and everything has been runing lovely until i just notice that 2 of my gold fish have scales missing and also one of them has a block spot on it, apart from this the goldfish are alert feeding well and...

Ross, You will get some flack about the pic. We aren't supposed to post them on the group. Your fish, however, seems to be a Koi. It has barbels as koi do. They will certainly outgrow the others! Think 2-3 feet long. Jim

I want to create an invisible edge on a new pond. I've worked out the flow rate over the edge etc & the pump size etc. And I've had a few ideas re the plumbing. Basically I'm thinking of a storage tank idea, but if I go on holiday & the pond level drops a little then I'm concerned about the storage...

Does anyone have experience with Golden Orfe fish. I have read that they a schooling fish which swim close to the surface.

The reason I sent the previous message was because my computer is once more doing the same thing and I cannot reset it this time. I know nothing about kill files and neither does my server support group.

About a year ago someone posted a rec.ponds FAQ to news.answers, the archive group for most Internet FAQ postings. Whoever it was failed to include a replyable e-mail address, so I haven't been able to contact him or her. If you are the FAQ maintainer, please contact me at the above address, or...

I took the plants off the bottom of the pond (18" deep) and put them on their marginal benches, which are about 5 inches below the surface of the water. Since this is my first experience doing this here are some of my surprises: The yellow iris had already grown over 2' tall and were sticking out...

Someone got angry the other day on a different newsgroup and asked me if I knew what a killfile was. Could that person have activated a kill file on my computer somehow?

Hello all, did I hear right ? No pond pictures are allowed on the newsgroup. Please fill me in as a newcomer here ! The beauty of a pond is showing them of to others !

We had one heck of a hail storm this past weekend, on two seperate ocasions within abaout 2 hours time frame. Hail the size of golf balls came with the first storm, and the second storm brought enough hail to totally cover the ground and make it white, about the size of nickels.......Then again...
