I'm thinking about adding an inside-the-liner bottom drain with an external pump and filter. Can anyone comment on bead filters or suggest something better? I've got my eye on the Aquabead 2.5 CU. FT. model. Here's a link. http://www.macarthurwatergardens.com/Aquabead/Aquabead_Filters.html The...

Had my pond and waterfall put in last fall but... The skimmer is too low in the water. The landscaper was so far behind in his work that I said I would wait until spring if he would come back in April. Now he says he can't and I'll have to wait my turn. Whenever that might be.. So I think I'm...

Someone has asked me for some links and resources, both on the 'net and in book form, relating to setting up a pond in the garden. They're considering pumps, filters, designs, fish, plants, and so forth. Does anyone have any sources in particular they favor? TIA....

Let me start off by confessing that I have some pretty weird Koi, heck one is so weird I named him BV after our beloved BV! Anyway less I digress, I have Koi that will splash the water when I am near to get attention, one that will swim really fast anytime I have orange for them, and let's not...

I just discovered I have mice or moles living in my waterfall mound. The holes burrowed under the edges of rocks are ~ 1 1/2" in diameter. I set a trap and caught a rodent with a 4 1/2" long X 1 1/2" diam body - it looks like a mouse, but larger than any I have caught before - someone...

Hi I have a Bioforce 4500 UVC pond filter , filtering a 1000 L pond I just wanted to know the difference between this and a Skimmer in terms of how they work or is a skimmer to "pre-filter" the larger waste before the filtering?

Ok, it's empty! I was thinking about putting in a skimmer, any suggestions on brands? Ease of installation on old rubber? About a 500 gal pond. I have a rena 1250 pump. Thanks Mo

My fish are spawning and has near about killed one of my female sarasa's. She has wounds all over her and lost scales. I have a 30 gal here in the house with one black moor. I'm thinking about putting him outside in the little preform (125gal)pond with the rest of the fantails, and bring in...

A computer question rather than fish. How do I sign and verify my new account without publishing my email for the spam bots. eg . I have noticed people doing this but since my real account does not include'TAKEOUT' I can't verify/setup a different account. My spam and...

Hi group - I have several questions that I post to my local group and got little or no response. Perhaps the fact that I might actually see these people at meetings make them less likely to just venture a guess. In any case I would greatly appreciate your ideas and opinions. Thanks in...

Hi - Once the sun took an angle to hit my pond most of the day, and with water temp at about 70 deg F, major string algae. It grew faster than I could take it out -- remove in the AM, it was back in the PM. I prefer a natural balance, but this stuff was absolutely taking over! I dosed with...

I've been reading several different sites, some say to put sand then underlayment......others just say underlayment. It's not going to be a really large pond only around 200 gallons.......what is best? Lisa

Just set my pond up Wednesday. Tested my Ph yesterday, and it 7.5. How do I lower it to 7 or below. The book I have from the Library, say a little under 7 is ideal for plants and fish, is this true? Thanks

Can someone give me advice on how to hide the skimmer? It is at the corner of my new pond that will eventually have plantings around it. I thought I could probably hide it with plants but then there is the problem of getting to it to clean the filter. There is probably a plant that would cover...
