Can anybody supply me with two plants I am seeking for my pond? Firstly a water soldier - a native or hardy one and not one sold at an aquatic centre grown under tropical conditions! Secondly an aquatic plant that grows in and out of the water and looks like a feathery pine tree? Willing to...

I'm with Monet, water lilies are simply stunning. I can't paint at all, but I did just get a new Dig Camera and what better subject to try it out on then Water Lilies. I need some more practise and a polarizing filter... but these are a start. I OK with Hardy lilies, but I love my Tropicals. ...

I finally broke down and bought a decent digital camera. These are the first taken with it of my pond. Today is the first full year with the pond up and running. Here is the link. Enjoy: http://bellsouthpwp.net/r/o/rockcat/pond/Pond%20One%20Year%20Birthday%20Picture.htm

I built an octagonal flower box with a raised bottom to sit on top of my inground filter to conceal it. I then placed my Fido Electric Fence controller inside the box. The plan is/was to put an insert inside the remaining space to plant flowers and conceal the Fido box. The box has been sitting...

We were enjoying the fire pit out by my pond, and now I am wondering what to do with the ash in the bottom of the pit. Can I toss it in the flower garden? Should I put it into the compost area? Will it make a suitable mulch or will it kill the flowers.......hmmmmm....sure was a nice fire...It was...

I bought a few tadpoles, had them in a tupperware bowl on kitchen table.I wanted to watch them turn into frogs. 1 died:( another flipped himself out on table. 8:00am we noticed. We didn't see were it was. My son cleaned the table off at 10:00pm, found the tadpole still alive:). We were amazed. We...

I finally found some Watercress and Cilantro at a new grocery store today. What's the best way to get it to grow in my veggie filter and pond? I now have it just floating loose in the filter, should I plant it in baskets with pea gravel or just let it float? Ron

I am thinking about adding another filter to my pond. I have a Tetra PF-3. The PRF 1500-2500 models are pressurized and they say you can back flush em. Does the backflush work well? It looks like a pretty big canister filter and those are a pain to break open and clean out all the time. I remember...

Hi I am thinking of getting rid of a water feature that I have (small fountain, No fish). Upon cleaning it out the other week to our suprise found that 7 newts had made their homes there. We also have a fish pond thats home to goldfish and some rather large koi's and was thinking about puting...

I have lost at least five Koi in two weeks!!! and they are gone without a trace!!! no blood, no parts of body!! and I am sure they are lost because I could see the bottom of the pond, and every time I feed fishes, all of them would show up My Pond is 5' deep (15'x22') & the fishes lost are about...

No, not you guys... ;) I am trying to find a nice poster of koi which identifies the different kinds. Something I can frame. I've done the usual Google searches, but haven't found what I'm looking for. Perhaps I've dreamed up the poster in my mind and now expect to find it somewhere. Does...

Hi have a water spitter and tulip headed fountain, do I need to leave them on 24 hours etc or can they be turned off for periods of time? regards -- Keith Scott-Steventon

Okay I added a lot of plants & cover a few weeks ago. That cleaned most of the green out pretty good. I also made the waterfall hit the pond a little harder for better aeration. Earlier this week we had a massive rain/hail storm here in Ontario. A lot of muddy run off got into the pond. In fact I...

I've Googled but can't find anything specific so does anyone know if salt at up to 0.3% will harm tadpoles? We have been fighting something since last year and nothing much seems to help. It's a 700US gallon pond and had 25 goldfish, up to about 6inches long, and a large green tench. During last...
