Last Spring I picked up what I thought were Blue Iris from Home Depot. I mean if the box says Blue Iris is it unreasonable of me to expect the color blue? The box was stapled to the poly bag holding the pot, plant and soil. Well I guess these are those yellow invisible blue iris. I have loads...

I am thinking oversized Aquarium Gravel Vac. My pond is above ground so I can start a siphon, clean the pond and water the plants. I was thinking of say a 4 foot long piece of 3" dia pipe adapted to a piece of corrugated sump pump discharge hose. I could cut the pipe in half and have a...

I am hunting for a leak in my pond. It's about an inch or two down from the top edge, somewhere, so I ought to be able to find it. I went in yesterday and found a pinhole or two, but evidently I missed one. This is likely a locaton problem - you'd have to be here - but I thought I'd post about...

Hi all - I have a white comet with what looks like a big zit on the bridge of it's nose. There is just a tinge of red at the base and then a protrusion approximately 1/8" in diameter not tall at all (1/16" or less?), which looks like a puberty pus sack. I believe it was 'drying' out at one point...

Hi Thanks for all your help so far in helping me learn more about my inherited pond. Im slowly getting the hang of it! Firstly, One of the comets we have I think is ill, when we first moved into our new pond we thought he has dead. It was only when we went to remove it that it darted off scaring...

Hello to all ponding experts. I would appreciate a few of you taking the time to post a reply to the following question. I am in dire need of help. My setup consists of a 2200 gallon concrete lined pond with a hayward 1.5 hp pool pump which pumps at about 90 gpm and it has a filter basket, and a...

Hello. I had a number of Koi hinerited from the previous occupants of the house, one of the koi was all white with a couple of orange spots and bright red eyes (I think the skin was red around it as well). They are all dead now (see other post) but I am curious if I can get another like him. He was...

HELP! All my WH have been choked to death by algae collecting on the roots. The lettuce is still alive but not looking too good. The only part of the VF not affected is the watercress. I was washing the roots every day(what a pain) but forgot for three days.= rotten WH straight to compost. My...

Hi My pond has lately become overrun with horrible mosquitos. I have read that litttle fish are good to eat the larve, so i have bought 5 small 2' goldfish to gobble them up which they seeem to be doing to a certain extent. I am trying to encourage natural pedators too. I was wondering if you guys...

Have a Pondmaster waterfall filter. There was a tray or basket that fitted into the top which one could buy, but I didn't. Now I can't find one. I would like to have plants in the top of the filter to hide the filter bit that I could lift out to clean the filter. Or are there plants that...

Some very sexy frogs left hundreds of pollywogs in one of my in-ground 150 gallon kiddy pools. They soon looked like they were getting a bit unhealthy (not enough algae) so I tried feeding them some flakes and pellets. They weren't too nuts about the softened pellets but went bouncers for...
