I'm glad (and a bit surprised) to hear that some folks have had success joining two liners together. I tried to join a small pond and a big pond and it was a two year disaster. In retrospect I guess I never did it 'right'. If you do it make very very very sure that both liners are 100%...

Hello again - . I find Firestone liners everywhere. The local guy tells me that Everliner is MUCH better, least in part that the warranty beats Firestone. Apparently, the Firestone warranty is void if you cut the liner in any way (?). What's the consensus? For the size I want to buy, the...

OK gang! I have approx 35 comets ( and counting ) and 8 Koi in my pond. ( 9x10 by 2.5 to 3ft depth) I want the 8 Koi in my pond. The comets range in size from I'm so new ya can't see me yet to about 6 inches in length and need to be moved elsewhere.... So far we have managed to catch a half...

Hey BV: I sent you an email, (removing the frontal lobe piece), to confirm your address, as I was ready to send salt posts to you, but never heard back from you. Did you receive my email?

BV, You need to read some of the URLs, the ones based on real research, that are always posted here and other places by the salt advocates and you will find that those results are based on Aquaculture models, not backyard ponds. Now, you may ask, "what's the difference?" Rod Farlee used...
