Killing fish ... sorry : ( by Nanceemo
I hate to be asking this question, but I need to get rid of many little fishies. I've tried finding new homes, but no takers, and my pond looks more like a mud puddle than anything, and the population is increasing exponentially. Is there a ralatively humane way to do this? Nancy

How to kill fish by GrannyGrump
From: http://www.bettasrus.com/disease/euthanasia.htm One formula that is very well known is Clove Oil & Vodka. The only reason for the vodka is to help the clove Oil dissolve into the water. Do NOT increase the Vodka in hopes it will help your fish die faster, it will cause more discomfort....

Changing Bio Filter by NewbieBill
Here is another question I need your help on. I started my pond with a Laguna 4500 Powerflo Filter. After day 1 realized this had very little mechanical filtering, so I took a 20 gal plastic storage box, cut a 2" hole near the top, stuffed a foam mattress egg crate in it and set it on my pond ledge...

Cat-safe algae control?? by William Laven
I have a small pond that loves algae. But I don't! Though I have a UV filter, there's still plenty of string algae. What I'm wondering is whether any of the algae control products -- many list copper as the active ingredient -- can be used when my pond also serves as a drinking bowl for my 6...

bottom strainer question. by DAN
Instead of putting a bottom drain, I attached a 2" hose from the skimmer to the deepest part of the pond. The end of the hose has a strainer. Should I point the strainer up or down. Can I put rocks in the pond with the strainer. Would rocks help the pond cleaner or make more trouble for myself....

Did I just kill my fish? by Chrome!Hat
Hi, Last summer I put in a new pond and this is the first year I've ever overwintered fish (goldfish). When the ice thawed I noticed my fish looking very white - some only on one side - and not moving. Some floated on top and others lay on shelves. I pulled them out. Was that a big mistake?...

Kiddie pool by Bill
As mentioned I am salting my pond. I took out quite a few plants and all submerged or floating plants and put them in a kiddie pool, which appears to hold about 60 gal of water. I filled it with primarily decholirnized water. Should I be doing anything to these plants to keep them growing while...

Idea for Iheartmypond by joe
Hey BV, Just a thought. You should set up a simple "for sale for postage" section on your site. People with plants could enter what they had, their email address, and location. They could then remove the entry when they were sold out. Shouldn't be too hard to set up. You could even provide...

Rubbermaid filter life by Roger Grady
My filter made from two Rubbermaid Roughneck 18 gal. totes will be entering its third year. Given the way these things distort when full of water, and that they're exposed to a lot of sun, anybody have any thoughts or experience on how long they last? It would ruin a lot more than my day if one of...

Cotswold stone around edge of fish pond by P Verstege
Hello. I have a new 8' x 17' x 3' PVC-lined pond populated by 72 assorted goldfish/shubunkins and 3 koi. Around the outside of the pond (on top of the overlapping liner) I have placed rocks. Some of these are Cotswold sandstone type rocks I believe. I found them all lying around the garden so I...

Pond's Open in Hamilton - Finally! by axeman chris
I've been a little slow in getting the pond back up & running this spring. It only happened this afternoon actually. There wasnt' too much accumulated muck to scoop out, so that didn't take too long. The fish were certainly happy to be back in there too, especially after having spent the winter in...
