Has anyone either heard of or used a technique of using the heat in your house like either of these: -Keep your filter in the corner of your basement (or somewhere else in your house) and run the piping through the exterior wall of your house. This would serve to heat the water, depending on the...

At what water temp can I add this for it to work? http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND

How soon in spring should you treat your pond with this. It says water temp don't matter but when would be best to kill the parasites. Has anyone used this before? http://community.webtv.net/rebeljoe/POND

I know most here suggest plants and more plants, but Algae hits here way before the plants are growing in the spring. I put in a 57 watt Aqua clarifier and in two days the pond was crystal clear. I was truly amazed since the bottom still had leaves and some trash from the winter. What's great...

Anyone in Zone 6ish repoting Lotus yet? Mine is in it's temporary rectangle rubbermaid at the bottom of 3.5 feet of water. I can't get it out without getting in, and that just ain't happening for another month or so. -- BV. www.iheartmypond.com

Happy Spring!! Even though it feels like Winter here in NJ. It's been a while since I posted here but I never stopped lurking and learning (should that be LURNING??) :) I recently put in a bog near my pond and have yet to plant it. I have a very established marsh marigold on a shelf in my pond...

Did anyone in the Toronto area get cought with there pants down with this sudden cold of -15C ? I started the pond up last week when it was warm, NOT thinking it would go much below 0C again, well, -15C is alot colder then 0 and the system froze up on me, the water drained from the hose emptying...

Is it ok to divide my iris now or will it cause them not to bloom....thanks

I've finished building my pond (18'x18'x2'/attached to a 55' long 2' wide stream up to a waterfall at a grade 4 feet above the pond grade). There are so many pumps on the market. I do not know where to go. I do want a good flow of water to make the waterfall dramatic. Does anyone care to advise...

Okay, since it's that time of year here in Atlanta, I'll be one of the first with the newbie pond cleaning questions. (And if there's a website or FAQ site that I should be going to for this info, let me know!) My main reason for cleaning is that the stones that were lining the sides of my pond...

After a long winters nap, I am back. I didn't post much last season so you all probably don't remember me, but here I am. I am so excited for the new season! I am in the process of building a filter out of a 70 gal stock tank. I found many ideas and have combined them into my own design. I am...

I have quite a few small feeder size comets several fancy type goldfish and a big Koi (8-9"). I used to have a routine of feeding my fish. They would all hover I would throw a bunch of flakes to them and they would begin eating. In the meantime the koi would probably be in the area but trolling...

Hi - I went on a five day vacation, and while I was gone it was hot (like 90 degrees, So. Cal). When I got back, I had string algae all over - down the waterfall, in the pond, the fish were freaking out, etc. I mean, this stuff was everywhere. This is my first spring, the pond went 'live' last...

This weekend, I dragged the 30 gallon rubbermaid out of the pond, so I could repot my lotus soon. Damn thing was heavy. Anyway, I left it near the edge of the pond with about 4 inches of water on top, just in case I caught any critters. This morning it was frozen solid. Where did spring...

The only probelm I have with evolution is that I might be distantly releated to the troll who started this thread. My problem is that I always like to correct stupidity when I find it. To anyone who is really interested in the lastest info on evolutionary theory should look into autocatalysts and...

Anyone using this product? Since we've been using it there hasn't been one fish with ulcers. We did lose one 3 year old koi this past week but there wasn't a mark on it. It appears to have "just died." Last breeding season they really banged themselves up and not one fish got an infection. We...
