I've noticed that the aluminum base to my 1250 watt "Ice Chaser" by Farm Innovators (which is identical to the Beckett "pond De-icer") is corroding. I do maintain .06 percent salt level, my compromise on the "How much salt" debate. This probably causes the corrosion. My question is- is this bad...

My husband asked what I wanted for Christmas this year, and I gave him one heck of a challenge.... I told him I'd like to be able to watch my pond from inside the house when I can't be out there! Anyone with equipment recommendations, helpful hints, past experience, etc. - I'd really appreciate...

I've recently moved into my new house which has a lovely little pond i the garden - home to 3 goldfish. The water was so murky that you couldn't see the fish, so I called guy from a local aquarium company who came out to clean the pond an install a saftey grating (I have a 2 year old child). He...

I've had numerous frogs take up residence in my small pond for a few weeks at a time, and I've often wondered where they come from, and where do they go from here? I found a rather large, striped one in the pond today, that wasn't there last week. In fact, there have been no frogs in my pond for...

Now maybe this war will be over, and the world can get back to normal. Or at least a semblance of normalcy.

My pond & waterfall, just "finished" in September are by my patio. It looked so fantastic, my patio needed to be repainted. I hired a professional painter, with only one instruction: make sure you cover the pond. Yada yada yada -- I come home from work and the pond is milky white, my Koi are...

My concrete pond has developed cracks from a tree that has been eradicated about 8 months ago. I want to seal the cracks, but the whole task seems overwhelming. Check out the mess: http://blueaxe.home.mindspring.com/pond.html In the second photo you can see the biggest crack that has...

Thought you ladies would appreciate this one.... One day, three men were hiking and unexpectedly came upon a large raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so. The first man prayed to God, saying, "Please God, give me the strength to cross this...

This is the first time I have looked at rec.ponds, so my question is probably well chewed already. I need recommendations about fertilizer for Louisiana irises grown in water. I am a hybridizer and planning to start a mail order business one day. I grow my irises in water in half barrels in...

*******IT'S LEGAL NO JOKE******* I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and e-mails, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an...

Is anyone else here getting doubles of posts? Or something else like this: Post A Post B Post C Post B repeats Post A repeats This is really weird, and it's only happening in this group. I guess if I'm the only one, I'll blame t on El Niño/La Niña/Northern lights/full moon/etc.

Hi, just a fun thing I seen this morning on the today show channel 12. A restaurant owner has a fish tank in his restaurant. One day one of his favorite fish stopped eating due to a server over bite. One of the clients of the restaurant happened to be a dentist. The reatraunt owner asked...

Well, I should have taken the nets off last weekend! Now, there's 9" of snow and I get my first real day off work in like 6 months! Sure, I've had a few days when I was dying and a few "holidays" where I cleaned the house and did work but today I get to play on the internet on a slow connection...

We put our pond in this summer, about 4500 gallons, didn't get it going until mid August. 17 small goldfish, a few plants, all seem to be doing well and water temp is down to about 45 so we're not feeding the fish anymore. While it was hot this summer, water stayed clear and no issues, now that...

The gravel installed in my pond is a bit on the large size, ranging in size from about 1/4 inch to maybe two inches. Is this okay or should it be finer than that? Most of the gravel (if you can call it that) is much larger than an inch.
