What you need to find out, or make a good guess at, is if your pond will freeze solid. That's not good... You can *bring* your pond indoors in a stock tank, into a garage, basement or covered porch. You can get really carried away and build an indoor pond. (This usually takes some careful...

My pond nursery said my goldfish were still too immature to have babies. WRONG! I've got a slew of them, at least a few dozen, possibly more, kinda hard to see most of those little black kiddies. A few of them are orange, yellow, white, etc. Figure they are about an inch long, all healthy, and...

We're in zone 5, and we have a beautiful tropical lily that we'd like to save. What is the best way to do it?

Saw this article and thought about Jammer ;-) http://news.bellinghamherald.com/stories/20030906/TopStories/154982.shtml k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergardeninglabradors/home.html

I ordered a Sup02785 Pond Master Waterfall Pump, 5280 gph. What I got was a ELD SP 100 S pump with same horsepower and wattage. It was in a box labeled Pond Master WFP-5300. The literature that came with it is for the ELD SP 100 S. Did I get what I ordered. It doesn't look like the Pond Master...

I purchased a power meter and collected some data on my pump: From the labels on the pump: Sequence 2400 SEQ10 motor: AO Smith 1.8A 1550 RPM 0.14HP Nothing on the manufacturers website, I think this model has been discontinued. I sort of remember the rated power was 100w. Plumbing (undersized I...

A frog has taken up residentence in my dog's water bowl. Where can I find a small self contained pond or flower pot sized unit? I'm putting in a big pond this coming spring. Thanks,C.D.

Hiya, Just a note to let you know our beloved K30a has been in the hospital all Labor Day weekend. We're hoping she'll be home by Tuesday. She was having some trouble breathing, must have been pretty bad, her DH took her into the ER Saturday evening and twas found she has Diabetes. So send her...

Recently a noisy black and green drgonfly visited my pond. I managed to get some pictures as it was busy laying eggs. Can anyone tell me what type of dragonfly this is? http://members.lycos.co.uk/mcmanusonline/pond.htm There are also other pictures of the pond over its 6 month existence. I...

Hi Pat, I live in Levittown, right outside of Philly. I've had ice as thick as 8 inchs on my pond. Is your pond above ground or buried in it? With the above ground pond your going to have to worry about ice forming on the sides to, and an above ground pond will get colder a lot quicker too. You...

Used a waterbed heater "Ralph" wrote in message ... Has any used the thermo-pond 100 watt heater? How does it work? I live near Rochester, NY I believe it is in zone 6

Yikes! I seem to be in the pond screen business. I searched around for a screen to put on my pond this fall but could not find a suitable one. So I built one. Other people asked me to make one for them so I did. I made design improvements as I went along, making it easy to disassemble for...

I've been writing all summer for suggestions on how to clear up my water. First it was the normal "spring" green. Then I had terrible floating algae. Then just plain old nasty, thick, green. I tried all suggestions. Water changes, more plants, BZT, covering biofilter, cleaning biofilter, etc....

Yes, that's a great suggestion. There should be a rescue group somewhere in your area/state. Lots of people buy them for their kids and then when they have to do all the work.... Well, you know how that is. Joe wrote: I saw a wonderful female red eared slider at the...

Should I remove the tropical when the leaves die back or before that at a certain water temp? It is in a heated bog and still sending out new leaves at this point but the nights have been quite cool. Down to 55 or so. Thanks, Heather

Hi everyone! I just have a quick question. There is some green/black algae growing on the surface of my water fall. Although I do not mind this, as it makes the cheap plastic pre-formed thing look more natural, the slime seems to be covered in air bubbles. Is this good, bad or...

Karen, "usually" problems like that come from out-of-date testing kits. But the Master Kit should have all been the same date, more or less. The "freshwater test" - what's its top end? You may have exceeded its limits. If you're using baking soda to raise your KH, then your pH should balance...
