I have a 70 gallon preform in the ground. I am getting ready to add a 150? gallon preform that will empty into it. (Add eventually a waterfall behind that) I was given a Flotec FPOS2400A-08 (That 3rd digit is either a zero or an oh) It has 1/3 hp, a 20 foot tall fountain and runs about 3000gpm....

Getting ready to start up our new 7000 gal.free form rubber liner pond.Any Suggestions on a good Bactiera to use?

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...

Now that I finally have a frog in my pond (a big fat one) I need that link to the bullfrog/green frog differences. Anyone? TIA John

I can't quite figure out the tubing thing: many sites recommend the black spiral tubing, but in my mind, the ridges will inhibit water flow compared to smooth tubing. I need 1.25" tubing. Is the spiraling stuff really the best way to go? It seems expensive... Thanks in advance.

Taking the advice offered, I removed a few large rocks along one side of the waterfall to see if there were any leaks or cracks in the liner. You were all right. The loss of water could not possibly be due to just evaporation. Some water was taking a detour. So I just hope the guy honours...

I just put up a webpage showing the evolution of my pond./ water garden. Its accessible from my main website page. There is a link at the bottom right column listed as Pond Project. Coments on pond appreciated....both good and bad! Thanks Roy aka chipmaker Visit my website:...

Has any one here made a pond out of live stock watering tanks? I know they have those rubber made ones that are very large and I don't think you would even need a liner. You could bury it or even set it on the ground and build around it. Just a thought.....What do you think? Dex

I've searched through this issue, but haven't found my exact problem anywhere. 500 gallon pond with waterfall. Crystal clear water (Maybe a slight brown tinge, but can see to 36" bottom easily) 2000 gallon pressurized Cal Pond filter 1500 gallon Cal Pond pump 18V UV Brown gunk growing all over...

I added some cattails and a Green Maiden Lotus, to the Frog Pond, today The pics aren't the greatest, as all my good cameras died. I am up to 4 frogs,and 3 tads in the frog pond and 4 frogs, and 6 tads in the 100...

I live in the deep south (Centreal Alabama zone 9 IIRC) I have only ever seen ice around the edges of my pond one time and its about 20 years old. Our water lines are only buried 6 to 10 inches deep........so it shows how much serious freezing weather we get. Mostly it never gets belowmid 30's and...

My pond is 10x12 about 2 1/2 feet average depth and kidney shaped I have been using a sump from Home Depot in conjunction with a biofilter with built in UV light. Seems to work ok, but I hate having to clean it by pulling it out of the pond and I fear it breaking and spilling oil all over. What...

I got a bail of straw now I want to use it on my waterfall pond. Can I just put it in a bag like what you get oranges in? Should I pack it in really tight or kind of loose? I was thinking of putting it in the upper fall pond area does it make a difference where you place it? And how much should...

Any experience with or opinion on the Artesian Water pumps Pq8 1/3 hp.Thank you David

Hello, i have a small yard pond about a 100 gallons, i have 2 goldfish and 3 koi's i also have a filter box that my pump fits in i have used pond blocks for algae that treat 250 gallons and the algae keeps growing. i have cleaned the pond 3 times this year and scrubed it with bleach and rinsed it...

Just wanted to pass this along.. we got 3 peace lillies this year, around easter time. You rinse off the roots, and thenwrap them around a rock or something heavy, so they don't float. Put them in the pond so the leaves stick out, and you should get blooms within a few months. I was told this,...

Well my first pond hasn't even been up two months and I am planning a second. I have a liner that is 10ft X9.5ft so I figure a solid 9 square feet for construction. I'm planning a more formal type water feature for the front of my house. I have big white column so I want to make it look...

The problems you have when you do all your learning from catalogs and newsgroups...I know what the stuff is but I'm not certain that I'm saying its name correctly. Oh, and behalf of all the other lurking newbies who must certainly be out there, thanks for all the chatty advice. Kelly

No this is not a joke about Bonnie in NJ. I just thought I'd chime in best wishes for the fish in the ponds in Bonnie's path. I hear MD will get slammed sometime Friday. I am sure my plants will get wrecked. BV.
