I foung a clear gel in my ponds filter. What could this be?

We seem to have developed soapy water. The waterfall has been running 24/7 since December and we have no fish in the pond yet. There aren't many plants at the moment as a friend said he would give us lots but he is off work sick at the moment, but there are 4 oxygenators under the surface as well...

I'm still working on my pond and trying to stop all the leaks in the falls and finally got around to buying a test strip kit. The water right out of the tap has a high Ph. 8.4 is the highest it registers so that is what I have or maybe higher. Is dumping a lot of "Ph Down" the answer? And just...

I have a 600+ gallon raised structure made of stone block I was thinking of making into a pond, but decided instead to get a 50 gallon rubbermaid type insert for the structure since I wasn't sure the block structure was sound enough to hold the weight of all that water. My question is, Is it...

I have just put two 16" diamond sturgeon in my 15ft dia x 4ft deep pond already occupied by 18 good sized koi. The supplier of the sturgeon was feeding them on floating koi pellets and the sturgeon were getting their food supply from the surface where it sticks to the sides of the pond. Now my...

Here are a couple of pictures of our (non-fish) patio pond: http://murdico.net/images/pond.jpg http://murdico.net/images/pond2.jpg It cost about $300 and took only a few hours to build, but we really enjoy it. -- Vinnie

I just added some new pics of my pond to my webshots site. Mainly just photos of our female green frog, toadpoles and toadlets aka "mini hoppers". http://community.webshots.com/user/shsimko Susan shsimkodukeedu

After three years of fighting green water, I am throwing up my arms in defeat and counting my pennies to get a UV sterilizer. So, what's the dish on these things? I researched a bunch about four years ago, but perhaps technology has changed. My pond is 4500 gal, full sun. No string algae....just...

I have a one month old pond (1400 US gallons), the waterfall has developed what looks like algae on the natural stone I am using for the waterfall. Is this in fact algae or something else (moss?) Anyway, is this something I should try to get rid of or is it harmless? I kinda like the look of...

We are planning to move and need to build a new pond for our fish at the new place. Since we will be starting from scratch, I thought I'd see if any of you have any good advice. Specifically, we are wondering about: 1. pond kits vs. buying the separate components individually 2. Preformed pond...

After suffering blanket weed for years and trying different unsuccessful remedies I fitted one of these units. Although dubious (the way it works still sounds like pseudo science) I confess it does seem to work. I have a little live blanket weed 'fuzz' on the liner and that's all, but lots of dead...

Hi, I have a 12000L pond with plants & NO fish. The filter/pump/UV are appropriately sized & I changed the UV bulb 2 week ago - AND the pond if still filled with green gloopy algae. What more can I do to sort this out? Help!

Hi I've just sold a "Tetra Pond OFX7500 Pond Pump" on ebay and the buyer has come back to me and said "I have just received the pump and took it out of the box, the outlet connector and fixing nut are not in the box do you have them?" I've asked the seller whether there's a list of contents...

My pond made from an old ski boat has been full of water for a couple of weeks now. Except that yesterday I managed to pump 2/3 of the water out of the boat, whereupon the bow floated up several inches and had to be put back, but I learned something and practiced my ditch-digging skills, and had...

Greetings fellow ponders, this is my first post. My wife and i are in our second year with our pond that I dug and constructed using a rubber liner and Purifalls filter and a regular submersible pump. It is kidney shaped, with it's dimensions being 7'x7'x10'x 18" deep. In the pond we have 3...

I have heard of ponds that are with NO filter..any info folks?

This filter cost me around $30 Canadian plus the hoses and output fitting, which I already had. If I look at it now, the white filter media in the second drawer is pretty green and the lava rock is also a bit green. Scott "Scott M." wrote in...
