I have my hole almost done. Went to look at 4" pipe for bottom drain and found a variety of pipe types. There is "sewer and drain pipe" with styrene fittings, Schedule 40 & 80 pipe, and corrugated pipe. I ruled out the corrugated pipe which is flexable because it appears that waste would collect in...

Went to buy some rocks today for half barrel. On the way I spotted a huge swampy area. So on the way back I stopped and pulled over off the road and went out to have a look. I no sooner pulled over and another vehicle came up and stopped and a fellow got out. He asked me what Iwas doing, and I said...

Beautiful bird! But not in my backyard!! Looks like all my fish are still there from what I can tell, but they sure were spooked. Usually they will come right up to my voice, but I didn't see any fish at first. I thought, "OH NO!, it got them all!!!" Phew, close call, putting up fishing line...

thought i would draw on the collective wisdom of this group. i have a 300g inground pond with a 45 mil liner that has been running since april of this year. it has a 950g/hr mag pump with the discharge split into a venturi and a bioforce 1000 bio-mechanical filter. it has been home to 6 - 5 inch...

Do the transformers on UV filters heat up to the point of being hot to the touch?

I have just up-graded my garden pond from 1000 litres to approx 6500 (1717 US gal 1429 imp' gal) - 7000 litres. Is it ok to put the fish (Sarasa comets) back in straight away? Unfortunately I could only save about 20 imp gals of the original pond water, but hope this will help to kick start the new...

There are 10-12 big Koi available free in Rancho Cucamonga, Southern California. 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Near Ontario Airport. The tenant in my neighbor's rental property was forcefully evicted, leaving behind a pond full of goldfish and Koi. Some 60 or more huge healthy goldfish and...

It's been two weeks and I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to all of you helpful folks. I've been besieged by health problems. There was no hole in the bottom of the pond liner as we thought. First, I want to thank Jennifer Tieche of "Serenity Ponds" here in Central Ohio, for her...

I have a small 100 gal pond in Dunedin, FL. Some small black water beetles are eating my water lily and mosaic plant. I was hoping the two 4" koi would take care of them, but no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx, Rob P.

Okay, I've done my testing of AlgaeFix from Pond Care, and I can unequivocally say it gets rid of String Algae and Blanket Weed. Be patient, it takes a few weeks to bring it under control, but it works. Further details are on www.pondcare.com Ken Russell Remove hat to reply by...

I live in Ottawa, Ont and soon it will be winter. Actually, it felt pretty cold this morning. Anyways, My son has a friend with a large 65 gal. aquarium for sale. It is 36 inches wide by 18 inches by 18 inches. My thought was to bring the four koi (about 8 inches long each) in so that I could enjoy...

It's been over two years, but I finally have both a newsgroup connection and pond plans. It's nice to see that some of the old regulars are still here. Life goes well here in Nova Scotia. We can't keep the sort of pond I had in Ontario, given the herons, kingfishers and ospreys (I doubt an...

Does anyone have any experiences ordering from them?? Good or bad?? www.webbsonline.com Thanks!!

Woke up early to put the trash out this morning, as the masked bandits prevent putting it out the night before. Decided to look at the pond before stumbling back to bed. HOLY CRAP BATMAN!, where did all the water go? The poor little pump was sitting there trying to suck out the last bit of...

I've suspected cats have been around my ponds, but the sides are steep so the fish haven't been bothered. I also have a doggy door for my Schnauzer. I've had it for 12 years with no problems. Last night I heard noises in the kitchen. I figured a critter had come in. Sure enough. Dog scared him when...

Oh, I'm an excited new ponder. After a month of recovering from a back injury (due to digging out my 400 gallon pond!), I put in the liner & water, ran the electricity and turned on the pump. The short waterfall with small veggie filters isn't running yet, but the pump pushes the water through the...

Yes this is only related to a tangent subject, but it seems most things the group in toto, is just short of the Encyclopedia Britannica's in overall knowledge:) Originally started on this idea as a hospital or isolation tank, but like ponding one thing grew to another and now we have a used...
