I have kept Koi fish for a number of years they live in three interconnected ponds via 8 inch pipes...Never thought about how a fish thinks or its reasoning capacity. About a week ago someone's pet ferret decided to take up residence under my back porch. He caught one of my larger Koi's From...

What chemicals do you use for raising/lowering and buffering the PH in the pond. Do you buy the stuff sold in the shops for that purpose or are there cheaper equivalent products that you can use? -Tom

Can anyone send me some?

We just finished our new waterfalls using Great Stuff expanding foam to seal the cracks, it worked great, thanks to everyone in the group for the helpful advice. Now my question, we are looking for a way to diffuse the incoming water supply for the falls, it is fed by a 2 inch return line...

I have clear hose from my pumps, and going from my fludized sand filter to my UV to my gravel filter, I noticed some algae growing in the hose. Looks like string algai. I didn't think it would survive in a 350GPH flow... Any thoughts on how to clean out? My guess is running a string through the...

Has anyone heard of propagating some types of lillies from their leaves? I noticed a guy at a local pond store removing some good leaves. I asked him what he was doing and he explained that some lillies produce a white node on the top of the leaf. The other side is where the stem attaches. He...

This is my first fall with our pond. I have 2 dogwood trees that will shortly be dropping leaves into the pond. Any suggestions of what I can build to keep the pond covered for about 4-6 weeks?

Can I clean my pond, without draining the water. Frankie

Well, kids, it may be time to think about storm preparation. I just saw the latest 5-day forecast track for Hurricane Isabel at NOAA's website http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_astorm13+shtml/151738.shtml?, and it's not pretty! Apparently, there's a possibility that Isabel could affect a...

1. When cutting underlayment, your wife's scissors from the kitchen drawer work well -- for about the first 15 feet. 2. Transporting a 15X 30 foot liner in the kids wagon works well -- for about the first 15 feet. Unexpected costs so far, one new pair of scissors, one new wagon. I may have more...

Hello- We're moving out of our home in a few weeks, into a new house. We won't have a pond at the new house for about 6 months, so we're looking for someone who can house our (2) healthy koi until sometime in the spring. One (a Kohaku?) is about 15" long, the other is a yellow koi (Kin...

Thanks to those kind helpers. Research has revealed the existence of Sodium Bentonite powder and "BentoMat" membrane, which is Bentonite sandwiched between a geosynthetic layer. Does anyone have any experience of these products? Haven't found a UK price yet but the stuff reads like a real...

Hello all, I'm posting today to ask for help and tips in locating a leak in what I now believe is in my stream. Here's the history, I week ago I added some small river pebbles to my stream because I thought the bigger river rocks needed some fill to look right.Then on wednesday I noticed that the...

Bob, Hopefully you aren't in the path of Isabel! You'd be pumping for a year! k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergardeninglabradors/home.html

A customer enters a pet shop. Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.) C: 'Ello, Miss? Owner: What do you mean "miss"? C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! O: We're closin' for lunch.

I have a 1000 gallon pond. I would like to clean the silt from the bottom without draining the water. Any advice is appreciated. Frankie

Is it possible to clean the bottom without draining water? All answers appreciated Frankie

Unless there's something I've missed there's no difference if it's laying down or not. Perhaps if it is laying on it's side the waterproofing of the bulb is exposed. For instance if it was up and down rain would hit the top and then roll off the sides over any holes - kinda like a roof. If you...
