Lily pond got up to 45F by the end of today. A few of the baby koi were up swimming a bit, looks like I have a few butterfly keepers in there. Also saw a few fantail goldfish babies who made it thru the winter. Dumped the lotus and had enough tubers to plant 8 containers. 2 for me, 1 for Kathy,...

Well, my one half-barrel pond is turning into three. I decided to do it the way I REALLY want and have more water and space for critters and an interesting layout. I'm going to run an electric cord from the porch light the way someone suggested to get a pump going so I can have adequate...

Sorry if this is a beat to death question! We have a small pond in the backyard - about 12' x 5' - it was here when we bought the house 8 years ago. There is now much sludge on the bottom, most likely due to my poor pond-keeping habits! So my question is do any of the pond vacuums really work?...

X-No-Archive: yes The name Windsong is being retired as of midnight tonight. I will use the name "Reel McKoi" here from now on. Please set your kill-filters accordingly. :-) -- Carol.... the frugal ponder... "WORK HARDER, millions in Welfare depend on you." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi, I put in my pond this past spring and now I need to make all that changes I wanted to make this summer and ran out of time :) As you can see the "waterfall" is not a waterfall at all but just the water flowing out of the filter into the pond. I will be building a skippy fiter and want it to...

To answer your question without having to wade through all the OT traffic polluting the thread... Yes, herons (and almost all wild birds) are a protected species in UK. Not only that, but it's illegal for private individuals to own any firearm (which includes shotguns) so predators (non-human) can...

i live in ottawa on, canada and have a 500 gallon pond setup in my back yard. right now it's covered in about a foot of ice and snow. i removed all my fish in the fall last year and left them in a large aquarium. i was thinking of doing the same for my water lilies. last year i trimmed all the...

I have been searching for ponders channels and not found any. Does anyone out there know of any? And the server it/they are on? Thanks! W. Dale

X-No-Archive: yes Windsong/Reel McKoi Please adjust your killfiles accordingly. :-) -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... I have a firm grip on reality. Now I can strangle it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks, Y'all for your suggestions about pumps. We have decided to go with a Pondmaster 2400. At the max height of flow, it will turn the pond better than once per two hours. The useage is about 245 watts per hour, less than our present 7 yr old, dead ex-pump. Now Jim is trying to get our...

Hi, all I was at Home Depot and they had half barrels. Next thing I knew, one was in my cart. :-) I'm going to try running it unlined because wood dries out horribly here in San Diego, and a half barrel planter I had literally fell apart after the staves shrank in the sun. So, The water is a...

Wish I had never bought those goldfish!!! They have been doing well. Still had a bit of fin rot but no sign of ich. I had the water up to 80 for several days and I used malachite green. This morning I changed about five gallons of water. It's a 10 gallon tank. Now the goldfish are shimmying...

I live in the UK. Last year I had a visit from a heron and he cleaned out all my goldfish. so since then I have rebuilt my pond and made it bigger so I can switch over this year to Jap Koi Carp, I have put in a larger better filtration system and pump, But my only fear is that dammed Heron, so if...
