We have been fighting "GREEN" water for 3 years now. Finally broke down and bought a UV filter. Has been running for 12 hours now. Our pond is absolutely FULL of foam. This normal? Does it mean the UV is working? Thanks, Cathy

I ran across a link a while back in one of the threads about making a filter to dechlorinate the tap water we add to our ponds. I saved the instructions and just now am getting around to it. Can whoever posted this link tell me if the filter removes the chlorine or justs breaks the bond...

Here is some pics of my 4 month old bluegill pond http://photos.yahoo.com/bluegillphil2000

I need a pump that can pump water from my small pond (about 100gal) over a distance or approx 5 metres to a UV clarifyer. The pond is a garden feature pond built raised above the ground (about 2ft high) the pump will be situated about 5 metres away at ground level and the hose will be routed...

I have decided to add a small air pump to my pond. This is I believe simply peace of mind insurance, so I want it to be cheap insurance. I could use some suggestions about how small/cheap I can use and still be providing benefit. I don't even know how air pumps are rated but will doubling...

It's me again. Having too much time on ones hands to work out in the 'yard' makes the imagination run amok with ideas for making the whole place look like a wooded wonderland. Having the pocketbook of a retiree, makes one's imagination often come to a screaming, frustrated halt in nothing...

I lost the original post-- Would you be kind enough to tell me how much you used, where in pond: and how often you added it? My pond is about 1800 to 2000 gallons, with 20 lg shebunkins and goldfish. I have a sm. ( 50 gal.) veggie filter at the top of the falls. It is filled with lettuce and...

Hi, I live in Ottawa, Ontario and have just completed my pond. I have posted pictures at http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/murchison_home/lst?.dir=/bad7&.view=t for you to see it. I will create another album of detailed pictures on how I built my filter. Enjoy!

I'm getting ready to build one of these, has anyone attempted this before? Do you have any photos? Thanks

I have a very small back yard with a garden and decided to put a small pond in with a waterfall. I did'nt plan on putting any fish in the pond so I only made the pond 5' long by 2' wide by 1' deep. Just big enough to add something nice to the existing garden. I planned on putting in a few water...

Hi all - On several occasions I have seen a dragonfly fly close to the water, tilt its tail part 90 degrees and quickly dip it into the pond a number of times. Even saw this once just using a little water on a lily pad. I'm guessing its either 1)Drinking from the wrong end 2)Decided my pond is...

After ten years of water gardening I never had a predator invade my pond until now! I was recently married and moved my pond to my new home last fall and our lot borders a creek with a natural pond about 200 feet away from our house in the woods. We frequently see Blue Herons overhead and enjoy...

I've been trying plants, and barley straw now for over a month, and my green hasn't even subsided a little. Has anyone built a low cost UV light setup, and if they haven't, what size would I need for a 14'x14' by 2-3 foot deep pond? Who go the cheapest online prices for these? --

Hi all, I found some eggs under a couple of lilly pads. And they have little black things twitching around in them. (only visible under a magnifing glass) Can any body let me know what they are? There are hundreds of them under one pad. Thanks, -Pat Rolland

For what it is worth, Phyllis and I just got back from the wedding of our middle son (first of 'my three sons' to marry). I did the service in Fairhope, AL. Fun to do. She is great so we are delighted to have our first daughter (-in-law). They are off the Grand Cayman! Phyllis and I will have...

Since summer's here & all the fish have been going mad reproducing, I though I would offer to take extra's off people's hands if they need homes for them. My parents have a large pond they are looking to stock & if you're in the Hamilton, Ontario area & have too many fish, email me off list & we...

Any one know why my oxygenating plants are breaking off and floating to the top, usually the grow abundantly, pond balance good. Also we have water Iris, Mare's tail, Scarlet Lobelia, Common Rush, Water forget-me-not, water Dropwart, Goldent Buttons. Any tips on dead heading, proprogating,...
