Hello all. I haven't posted in ages. I've moved & I'm already planning a Japanese themed pond for the spring here in Ontario. My 1st pond was a greats success at my mom's house. It never went green once. In the Spring I plan on modifying the waterfall. I should have some pics of the pond as soon as...

I have a 1.5 year old Laguna pond pump that decided to die on me. I'm sure it's dead and not a tripped GPF circuit because I hooked an air pump up to the same outlet. I did a search on Google for Laguna pumps and the only thing I could find were retailers selling them. One site said that Laguna...

I dismantled a small half built pond in my yard a few weeks back, and as I drained it, I found hundreds of tadpoles. So we dumped those into a rubbermaid container, and dismantled the pond. Now I have rubbermaid with 100's of tadpoles, and some other insect life, in a rubbermaid that has several...

will stick to plastic milk crates? I used normal krylon-type paint on them when I first got them, but it came off. DH uses a rubberized type on the handles of his wrenches and such. Will this stick better for use in a pond?

Hi, I have a pond that I inherited when I bought the house last summer. It seemed to overwinter just fine last year (I left the pump/waterfall on) and only froze over once. Since it doesn't freeze here very often, I think I'll probably just put netting over to catch the leaves....my only...

I keep reading about salt being added to ponds, but what kind? Is pickling salt the same as alum?

Does anyone know of a good source for Sequence pump replacement parts? I fear I have injured my K6's impeller and must replace. I've Googled mercilously, but to no avail. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

My new pond is a mess, as new ponds tend to be. I'm trying to be very patient as the water gets greener before it gets clearer. The one spot I have tried to meddle in is lowering the pH. After a month, with plants (alive but not thriving) & turtles but no fish, my pH was high at 8.4, and my total...

i'm debating the pond thing, the wife is bouncing off the walls hoping it comes thru... water changes and auto fills came to mind... do ponders just pull over the hose and add water or do they incorporate a top off valve in the system somewhere, and if so, where? at the trickle filter? -- |...

Under the heading of "Always Looking for Something New": So I went to a local pond shop today looking for yellow butterfly Koi. They didn't have any, but did have some African Tilapia, which they said would over winter here in San Diego. Does anyone happen to have any experience with these...

When old Ivan came and my pond flooded, it also got my pump. Its not an important item actually as its not used to power a filter or aerate, just used to power a fountain for asthetics, and move accumulated junk off the water and over to the ponds banks. Pump was submergerged under at least 2 or...

I been doing a slow down of the water into my veggie filter when the temp starts to mostly drop below 45 at night. actually, once the water temp gets below 55oF for more than a day or two it is time to stop the waterfall and start preparing the pond for winter, including putting up a cover and...

Hi, Well I am adding a 220 gal pond to my 100 gal older one and I would appreciate any tips or suggestions you may have. Please take a look at this picture http://funjax.com/pond . It shows the new pond in a half dug hole, close to the position I want it to be. My thoughts on how to proceed...

We have a fairly new pond of about 8 weeks, the pool stays very clear as we have an ultra voilet light, and an air machine and pump. But we seem to have picked up blanket weed we don't know if it came on a plant we bought or if this is a common problem with ponds, any advise on getting rid of it...
