:) I spent an a while this evening playing with an area left when we installed a new air conditioner out back. I dug it out approx. 3 ft. X 2 ft. On the long sides i set in 3 ft. long cement border sections, I packed clay against brick on the back side and made it grotto style with the ground...

The farm pond An old farmer in Georgia had owned a large farm for several years. He had large pond in the back, fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc. The pond was properly shaped and fixed up for swimming when it was built. One evening the old farmer decided to go...

Intro: I've been lurking for a few weeks and decided it's time to take the plunge. My son was given permission to catch goldfish (net) at pond and came home with 6 very nice comets, ranging from 4 to 9" length. They have been living in a 37 Gal tank (too small!) while we build a pond for them....

Okay folks I got the basics down. I had to put a new liner in the other day cause I'm a friggin Gump & had water go behind the liner after I re did the water fall. (That waterfall looked sweet too) I learned my lesson the hard way I guess. I re did the ledges as well. The old liner will be used...

I finally finished the install of my pond(s) and things have been going and looking great for about 2 weeks. My wife and I purchased some more plants from Home Depot (water lilies, cat tails and some other stuff that I can't pronounce...). They came packed in kitty litter. Of course the...

I am building my first waterfall/pond. The pond is 4'x4'x2' deep. The falls will be only about 3 or 4 feet from the pump and about 4' high. Can anyone recommend the pump size that I need?

He showed up from who-knows-where a week or so back. Every evening, he sits on a rock at the side of the pond, emitting his loud trilling call. And I do mean LOUD. I hope someone answers him soon, poor boy...... -- Kizhé

Okay, you guys that have external pumps and uses 55 gal drums are going to have to help me here. My pump is suppose to push 1500 - 5400 G.P.H. If I have the pump pulling from the 55gal drum to push water flow in the pond, I was thinking if it max's 5400 how can I get the water to flow into the...

hey everyone. i just took these pics of my pond.. http://www.thehvscene.com/pond/ its about one month old, plants are starting to look bigger and are growing.. but algae seems to be a problem, or maybe its my filtration system... by looking at my photos, does anyone have any advice on how to make...

What is the best way to get rid of string algae? At least, I think that is what I have. It looks like plants growing from the bottom of the pond up. It looks just like seaweed. I hate adding stuff to the water. The last time I did that, my lilies got stunned and they didn't do as well. They...

Hello! A few weeks back I asked for suggestions on what to do with my koi and goldfish. You see I'm moving and do not have a pond at my new home. I'm not sure where to build the new pond and wanted to live there for a while to let me see where the place tells me a pond is needed. Over the weekend...

Wow, haven't seen the liner since February... (new pond). Just in the last couple of days the water has cleared up so much that I can see the bottom (pond is 22 to 32 inches deep). But it seems that a predator (I'm guessing a Heron) has also found the clear water helpful. It's hard to tell for...

I bought a house with a pond. The is pond oval (10x14x3) ~3000 Gallons...the pond has never been clear. It has been green. I attributed this to the light on UV clarifier being burned out. Now that spring has come I am often getting brown sludge floating on top of the water. I can scoop it out...

Hello all, I had planned on using a roll of waded up window screen as filter media for my mechanical filter but when I went to purchase it, I realized that it is vinyl coated fiberglass material. Google search turns up conflicting results on the safety of using fiberglass window screening. I...

I just put a couple of sprigs into a mesh pot that my ONE (and rapidly reproducing) waterhyacinth is in. Does anyone have experience with this in the pond? It seems to be doing well... Thanks Maureen in Phila

We have pond with a waterfall. The water fall is at a 14 ft. incline with a submersible pump. We run the waterfall only during the spring and summer and shut it off in the fall/winter. We haven't turned it on yet this season due to some leaking issues. Anyway when the fall is running our electric...
