Hi All, Paid big bucks for a liner for my 4'X 8'x 3' pond. Losing about 2 inches of water daily.....I doubt the waterfall can spray that much. I'm really frustrated and want to just pull out the liner and replace with a big rubber tub. Does anyone know of a tub this size? Rubbermaid's BIG tubs...

I have a small preformed pond that has split. I sealed it with silicone but the leak is back and the split a little larger. Is there an easy way to seal the tear? thanks

Is there an easy way to control grass? I have many lilies, marginal and oxygenator plants. There are frogs & tadpoles, snails and golden shiner minnows also. The water quality is good and in general maintenance is minimal except for pulling occasional weeds on the moss covered cement walls and...

Was at Wal MArt today and happened to see a heap of preformed ponds setting on a pallet outside the garden section. (15 total preformed) I looked at them and there were two sizes / shapes, both relatively large in size, but no price on them..I inquired inside on how much they were, (actually hoping...

Hi, 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...

Ponds and birds go so well together. Is anyone here a lurker or member of the rec.bird ng? Just curious. Larry Southern Ontario

Hi I'm looking to replace my Hozelock pressurized filter with either an Oase or Fishmate model. Does anyone have any useful feedback about these filters. The single BIG advantage as far as I can see is that the spnges can be flushed through in situ, so no more struggling to dismantle and...

Hi , I have had my pond about 7 years. I am in upstate NY with frigid winters. Yesterday I had a major crisis. When I woke up the waterfall was not working. I went out to look and noticed the pond had gone down about 8 inches (12X15---2200 gallons) The Koi were in major distress, especially my...

Can anyone tell me what does a UV light actually do to the water & why do you have to change the UV bulb/tube and how often do you have to change the bulb/tube. Thanks Mostyn

We are still fighting the green pond thing although the water is clearing a bit, thanks in part to something from Laguna that is supposed to make the suspended alagae clump therefore making it easier for your filter to grab. Not a big fan of the chemical thing, but since it said nothing about...

I have just finished expanding my pond, correcting a mistake I made. My mistake was that the in-pond pump and waterfall were both at the same end of the pond. The other end was a thin, narrow pebble beach. Because of its thinness, and because the water was only circulating at one end,...

I have a small two tier waterfall(about 8-10' course) ending in a small 90gal pond. I had it made partly to attract birds to my property. Well it's working alright. Maybe too well, Think every bird in my town is coming for a dip. I don't have in it cause my two Labs would get out their...

Been doing a little research on pumps for the wifes future half barrel garden and seem to have zeroed in on the following brands. Danner, RIO, and Aqua Via......with the Danner pumps seeming to have quite a lot of places that sell them. Prices on all three brands are comarable and most have a 3...

I live in central indiana. My pond is about 1400 gal 120 sqft with three levels and sluice to from each level to the next and the bottom level is pump to the top level. Should or can I let this pond run all winter? If not when should it be turned off?

I have removed some pond plants and put them in a kiddie pool, about 70 gals. I added 4 tiny rosey reds and today 2 feeder comets. 10 days into it I already have a fair amount of skeeters trying to mature. Where do I go from here? Will the fish eat them or do they need to catch them...

I bought one of those pop-up ponds, does anyone know how to get it to fill up without collapsing? Or am I just going to have to use it as a liner for something else? I also have set up a small above ground container pond, about 25 gallons or so. I have put egg rock in the bottom and I plan to...

My waterfall feeds into a 90 gal. tank/pond. So far I have it going off at 12am and on a 7am. Am I prolonging the life of the pump(I'm sure it's a small one and not overly expensive) or is this just a myth and should I just let it rip 24/7? Any thoughts? All the best, Larry
