I am wanting to make a biological prefilter out of a large flat rubbermade container using some coarse and medium density pads and springflo for the bio medium. The pre-filter will be placed at the bottom of my pond. Pondmaster and little giant sell theirs for around $60 for a SMALL 12 x 12 or 12...

In our part of Scotland we had four days of constant rain. This made our raised pond quite dirty and murky. It was just settling down again when I foolishly removed a Pepper grass plant (by the grass, instead of grabbing the container) and silted it up again ! Once again the pond starts to clear...

OK, so after going all over hells half acre I finally found a place that sold just plain clay kitty litter. No fragrences, no addatives, no crystals, just plan ground clay. Ironicly, I found it at Farmer Jack. Anyway, now the question is how much and how do I apply it to the pond? Put it in the...

Some of use were sitting around yesterday evening, and talk got around to ponds and fish. Somewhere along the line, I mentioned the floating bubble habitat/fish toy that looks like an inverted, floating fish bowl, filled with water, so the fish can swim up into it, and look around above...

Greetings! Turns out I don't need these two great pond lights. Terrific bright pond lights. high-quality! Read more about them on: http://store.watergardenweb.com/lun5unligbyo.html These sell for about $150 each but I'd like to sell them both for $150 plus shipping.

I woke up, and on my walk to the car this morning I saw a terrible site in my (above ground) half whiskey barrel pond. After five months, it finally happened: a bird, either a robin or mourning dove, drowned in there. And if it wasn't already ill, if they're that insistant to get water I might...

This is my first post so my apologies if this has been covered in recent posts. I belong to rec. birds and someone directed me to you. I have recently put in a small two tier waterfall draining into a 3'x3' "pond" for my feathered friends. Waterfall is about 6-8' total length. Pond/receptacle...

Hi: This is my first pond. 500 gallons with waterfall, EPDM liner, planted (bogs, oxygenators, one small water lily), 2 shubunkins, 2 sarasa comets, 3 kois all about 4 inches. The fish and plants are doing fine, growing great. The water is clear down to the three foot end but slightly brown. ...

I do have rec. ponds on my computer through my Internet Service Provider, but my friend, who is with Alltel Internet is not able to subscribe to newsgroups. Does anyone know how she can subscribe to our newsgroup??? Thanks------

We have to decommission our big pond due to a confliction with our dog! Ideally I'd like to do this the end of this week or this weekend. Please contact me by Direct Email Thanks Peter

Hello all I have just put together a website with pictures of my partially completed pond as well as other yard features. It can be seen at http://www.boundary-ca.net/pond/index.html Have a great Day! Don - southernbc

K30 will be along shorty with her Algae Primer.... but I'm quite sure you'll fall under the patience policy. Though I would like to know what kind of plants and how many you have? You may not have near enough. Any pictures? Post them to a website so we can take a look, we love to see new ponds. :o)...

Hi: My friend has a pond that has only lilies in it. The water has turned a redish brown color. What could cause this? THANKS-

Everyone here seems to know how much their pond holds. Is there a formula to help one figure it out. My pond is lower receptacle(pond) is 3'x3'xabout 16". Figuring out the volume is easy but how does that translate into gallons? Thanks, Larry Southern Ontario

I was given a pre-formed pond (aprox. 5'x6'x18") and a Little Giant pump. I would like to know if there are any web sites that could help me with layout and design ideas. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Anyone want to buy a home near the south end of the Tampa Bay Bridge? Going cheap.

Hi all, (am delurking for a bit ;) I have recently moved into a new house which has a very large pond (with a stepped rock face on the north side). There is an existing pump in the pond, but it is not connected to power (or so the landlord assures us). We don't really want to get the...

I pulled a few lily pots from my pond today to ease the overcrowding and found several round pods growing on some apparently unpinched blooms. Are these of any use and why do they grow. It seems most of the old blooms just go to mush, although I have heard of dead heading before the blooms go...

As ponds are starting to overgrow, more people are giving away plants. I'm looking for cheap suggestions about planting emergent bog plants out of the pond and probably in dirt=no mosquitos. I thought of digging oversized holes, lining with a trash liner and refilling with dirt or possibly...
