I still have not brought the water test kit home, but still have some data about our yellow hyacinths. The iron has changed the yellowing of the wh in the 4x8 berm vf. They are clearly moving from yellow to dark green. Those hyacinth have long roots. The wh in the pond (short roots...koi) are...

I wonder if anyone on this group can provide some advice. I have a newish pond - it's been filled for about two months. The water lilies I have bought have suffered from major discolouration of the leaves within a week or so of putting them into the pond. Basically the leaves start going brown in...

Hello Group, I live in NY on a small man-made lake(made in the 40's) that is not more than 8 feet deep at the deepest point with an island in the middle. Anyway, as the subject says, the Lily Pads are taking over. 30 years ago one could swim around it. 20 yrs ago we could boat aroundit .. Now it...

Our new pond (taking forever to get finished) will have a upflow veggie filter with about 12% more surface area than the pond's. What other filters should be put in? Pond is 700+ US gallons. Pump is overkill (Sequence 750 series 4200SEQ12, 2300 GPH) but we will be adding other water features in...

Hi all, Denise from upstate New York. I have a gardening group (webtv based) and we do a roll call every month. Nice to see where everyone is from. I enjoyed reading this thread and getting to know a bit about some of you. Here's the link to my webpage with photos of my new pond. I will be adding...

Just wanted to post that I have redone my pond and have posted the new pictures at the website below. We have done away with the original waterfall and 22' stream, which here in Florida was just one vast string algae attractor and added a waterfall at the edge of the original pond. We finally...

Can someone point me to a link that describes pump performance a little better? There is a chart, at the bottom of this page: http://tinyurl.com/4kxjl But, what I don't understand is, how do you determine the flow rate in GPH if when using the pump listed, the maxium HT. of a water feature can...

Today I emptied and cleaned the pond to find a fish that had something attacheded at the anal area. When I looked at the fish after netting every one else it looks like his intestines are hanging out. It is whitish with a red vein running thru. So I guess I will have to euthanize it. Any other...

I have a small pond. Last fall it seems that all my frogs stayed in the pond. Needless to say they all died and I found them all on the bottom of the pond this spring. How do I prevent this from happening again this winter. I live in NJ. Also I bought 2 small cat fish last year. This year they...

Does anyone out there know of any companies in the UK who could make a pre formed pond to a custom design? -- anneb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ posted via www.GardenBanter.co.uk

It's hot and the window A/C is running constantly. I can collect a 5-gallon bucket of water dripping from the condenser about every other day. Would this water be safe to use to top off the pond? It's clear, clean-looking water, but I didn't know what might be in there that you can't see or...

I have 2 Pickeral Rush in my pond. They seem to be growing well but have virtually no flowers. They develope the little corn cob thing - then just a few tiny maybe 1/8 inch purple 'flower leaves' will emerge - not even enough to fall off - then its done - goes to brown. The could be root...

Why do they crawl out of the water to lay eggs aboe the water line? 2. How do I let them hatch and not get eaten but other critters? a. should I bring them...

Another computer literacy question. Using Outlook Express and going through usenet I just responded to a post. When 'sending' I got message apparently I had composed in html. This has never happened before. Did I respond to an html post (Will Koi stop growing) and that was the default? How do...

From: "Jim" Subject: Blanketweed Date: 20 July 2004 12:56 Thanks Lost. Do I have to turn off filter and UV ? Jim

I am disabled, and can't clean filters easily, so I am planning on making a veggie filter from a large water trough (Tractor Supply). Planning on rocking this in, with a roof, so that it looks like a wishing well... This trough has an opening at the bottom for draining water. I am planning on...
