I have a small (150 gallon) pond that has a serious tadpole problem. Is there a way to control them?

So, it's a culture thing. I live in Phoenix, AZ. So where most of y'all have to contend with freezing winters, we have 110 degree summers. What I've got: homemade pond, rectangle, liner, half in and half above ground two feet deep, 6x8 ft 700 gallons

All the skimmers are for large ponds/ Some have a floating top ring for water heighth. But Im looking for a small one for 300 gallon pond. Can I make on? I have a 300 and 600 gallon pump. Any ideas?

I'm looking to get a rigid pond to replace the torn liner that's currently leaking in the back garden. Are rigid liners any good? There's a plastic one that I've spotted that has the right dimensions to fit the hole I have, it's the BLAGDON DAMSEL FLY 1250 LITRES. Any opinions on it? Also if a...

I asked the people at Water Garden Gems in San Antonio about a means for controlling Aphids on Lily leaves. Here is their response: Good afternoon, Aphid's can be controlled by using Safer Soap and spraying the pads. Be careful not to do it in the middle of the day, try to do it in the...

I know it is too early to be thinking of this but this will help me on how much to invest in tropical plants vs hardy lilies for this year. Can these tropical plants such as water lettuce, hyacinth, etc be brought inside and put in large buckets with artificial lighting and expect them to live...

We recently moved into this house and "inherited" what could be a nice little pond. Trouble is, the previous owner hasn't cleaned it out or done anything to it since about July last year and it's a right mess of dead plants and blanketweed, but also now getting new growth on plants as well. It...

Hi.. Yesterday in the afternoon I saw a male newt "dancing" in the shallow water zone and this morning another one (female?) eating a small earthworm! :-) -- cu Marco

I have a fish (5 yr & 9" subunkin) that got trapped in the skimmer, I released it and it seemed to recover, but today I noticed that it is now growing a white fungus like material at the places where it was injured. Suggested treatment please. ANO

I bought a 36 watt Cal Pump UV Clarifier 8 days ago for my pea soup green pond and yesterday I finally noticed that it was actually working. Today the water was really starting to clear up, and then the clarifier decided to die on me. This is not a submersible device, but it is supposed to be able...

Can I use the pressure treated wood as sort of moulding on the edge of the pond? Or will it poison fish if it comes in contact with water? pawel

Ok Folks, I have about 30 or 40 cuttings of various lilies. Most are probably light yellow. They had been growing for about two years now without dividing, because of my recovery from surgery, so this year they have been finally divided and I will sell them for postage like I have in the past. ...

my pond was down a while (couple months) and yesterday I picked up some Koi from a friend and today there is a "string" of eggs all around the pond and through the plants. is it possible these are from the Koi or more likely from frogs?

I potted up the lotus after they had sat for 5 days in clean water. Did you know that is the recommended thing for lotus divides? I've planted them directly and had some fail, so we'll see if these do okay after soaking. By the time I replanted mine, I only had tubers for 2 others containers to...

While the liner is pulled aside I decided to reshape the pond a little, making it deeper but with a smaller circumference. The shelves that were broad for growing plants have been narrowed drastically and will not be as deep. There will be one low end where the mulm can collect to be shop-vacuumed...
