I have a 4 year old Comet (fantail) that until about 4 weeks ago swam with everybody else in the pond. He now just hangs out in shallow water by himself , doesn't swim much and the other fish don't seem to have anything to do with him. There are no marks on him and other than just hanging out...

By redone , I am thinking you had a new liner installed - if so, you are back to square one - it will take the rest of this summer here in SW Ont to "mature" the pond, or "cycle" it - until next year it will probably "swing" back and forth between clear and cloudy - the bacteria additive will...

Some of you remember my VF fiasco, and that much of the liner is showing due to my error in judgment on the grade of the land that the VF is built in. I am contemplating a solution to hide this liner, and need some assistance. Currently my pump sits in my VF and pumps TO my pond. Water then...

I've got 4 large (6-8 inch) goldfish that have outgrown my aquarium and need a good pond home. One is a comet, the other three are fancy (but I don't know specifically what kind.) They are probably 3 and 4 years old. We're in the Northlake / Tucker area of Atlanta. If interested, please contact...

Okay.. my first pond and now the weather hasw warmed up and I a pea soup pond. Will a filter help with this and can I build one myself? Its a 500 gal pond. 3ft at its deepest point with a 1000gph water feature. Joel.

Here's the latest addition to the yard, it's more of a water feature/flower pot than a pond, it's got a filter, plants, 4 little goldies, heck, maybe it is a pond....anyway, check it out.... http://home.fuse.net/ace883/wishingwell.jpg

It's in the garden of the local pub. There's been a leak for months/years, but only occasionally. We refill the pond and forget about it. Now it's almost emptying every day. I put talcum powder on the surface to see if it would be pulled to one side, illustrating the whereabouts of the leak....

A friend is debating between a koi pond and a small swimming pool. Made me wonder, does anyone swim/wade/soak in their koi pond?

I'm getting ants in the dirt around my pond. Mostly in the mound of earth around the waterfall pool and under the coping stones. Went to sink a plant today and uncovered a LOT of ants... again. Problem is what to do about it. I've been digging them up and pouring boiling water on them, as I am...

Hi: The string algae is getting very thick in my stream. I am almost daily pulling it out. I do have an UV filter but obviously the string algae does not go thru it as it is attached to rocks going down the stream. Short of daily pulling it out does anyone have any better...

Hello, I am in the process of installing a pond. it is about 15x8x4. I already have the plumbing ran except for the skimmer. I am using a 4" drain and using mortar for the lining. I already purchased the pump. it is a 1 1/2 hp hayward aboveground pool pump. I recently poured the slab for the pump...

I have read lots have natural ponds/VG filter no falls and they do not talk of the need for an air pump/stone. How necessary is a air pump/air stone to the health of the pond? Do you calculate size by gal with this type of pump also. If not what would be a typical size for a pond, better yet, what...

Have been lurking for a few weeks and a wealth of information in this group, thanks to all who take the time to post and answer questions, sure we'll be taking advantage of the expertise in the future.
