I am a suburbanish newbie ponder. The closest "wild" water is 4 blocks away over major streets. WHERE did the frog staring at me - as in eye level- on my screen door come from tonight? And then when I didn't let him in the house, but shut the slider - WHERE did he go to? No frog sounds,...

Our Gargoyle pump finally died. Would is be better to wait for spring sales, or does anyone know who has sales in the fall? I want to replace that pump, and also get a above ground pump/uv filter system as well. We're already getting low 50s night temperatures here in NC...

I bought a house last year, built a small pond about 4' x 5' and have a couple koi and some other smaller gold fish, the fish lived through last winter and all did well over this past summer, I hear about people have breeding problems, too many fish etc.. how come my fish never bred, NOT that I...

We have two very small ponds that are connected by a spillway. One of our fish went missing a few weeks ago. He is white with some dots and about four years old with a pretty plumey tail. I was sure something had taken him and we ordered netting and put it over the ponds. Today I was cleaning...

What is the best product to adhere EPDM to a preformed pond?

No pix yet. Digi camera died recently. Soon though. Just put in first plants. Hyacinth (makes me think of Jim Morrison) and something called Thalia geniculata. Thalia tall & elegant. My wife wants watercress but I cant find it here in San Francisco. Maybe at the health food store. Q's: What is...

Derek Broughton Wrote: The answer, though, is the typical "it depends". I've seen them start to change in weeks, and others that didn't change for a year - typically around 5cm. It can be really quite spectacular as a fish develops a small hint of gold on his back, then as the days go...

Any advice on how often or how much to feed African Cichlids? Have about 15 in a 1200 gallon pond.

but it's as good a way as any to say hi!! We put in this enormous (8000l) pond last summer, and the fish really like it. So much that last month we spotted 6 black young fish. We weren't trying to breed but well, you know goldfish, the martini's of the pond world (anytime, anyplace, anywhere.) So...

I had to add water to pond. I am concerned about the cholrine in the water..will it hurt tje Koi?? --Kathy

I have a swimming pool filter that is driving me crazy to come up with something to make out of it. I finally decided to use it as a base for a floating / submerged support for a fountain in the middle of my pond. Plan is to use a submersible pump, mounted to a plate attached on top of this large...

Its actually more than full as the stream came up so high it was higher than my ponds spillway and it flooded into the pond. Water was within 3 inches of going over my enclosure and I was sweating it for awhile. Its starting to recede now so thats a relief. All its going to cost me is a new pump...

Is it ok to put liquid Laguina fertilizer in the pond or will this start a problem with algae. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I just have a few questions for the group concerning winterizing: 1. To run the waterfall or to not run the waterfall... Pros: ensures a hole is available for stuff to get out if pond freezes... actually, waterflow should reduce chances of pond freezing Looks pretty Water tempature should be...

Ok. Will somebody tell me what is up with the controversy over Ironite? In this ng and from some of our local ponders, Ironite used in moderation is said to do wonders for WH. Now I am seeing all kinds of very negative and cautionary site discussing the horrors of Ironite. And, I see there is a...
