Hi I am thinking of getting one of the standard three way weather proof switchs to control my lights/pump/water feature etc. However, on the instructions for my Hozelock pump it states a residual current device (RCD) must be used. I can't see any mention of a RCD being included on any of these...

How does it feel to an unborn baby to be nestled securely in the warmth of its mother’s womb and then suddenly be assaulted with deadly force? We can only imagine, for the story will never be told firsthand. Most abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks of life. By this stage the tiny fetus...

Hello, Here is an idea i now have. Will it work, and what are the pit falls? I want a "pond" to be an entirely intigrated part of the creek, as if Mother Nature had already done it herself, no barriers of any kind to change nor stop the natural flow of the creek, plus a wide mouth opening into the...

I recently spotted a three 1 inch gold shubumkins and several other gold fish fry, in my pond. I guess these are product of my comets and shubumkins springtime activity. Anyway I was wondering about the best way of giving the little guys a good start in life and was considering buying an aquarium,...

I have 9 goldfish living in a 300 gallon stock tank till my permanent pond can be built. They've been doing fine there since December. Had a normal nitrogen cycle at first, not too bad, then water chemistry consistently checked out great. In July, several fish died. Necropsy showed aeromonas...

Year ago I purchased a house that had a 60 gallon outdoor pond at the entry. The pond had seven gold and white fish with bodies from 2" to 5" long. The very distinctive feature about these fish were their tails. The tails were at little longer than their bodies and very sheer. They were well...

Hi all, Well the racoons trashed all four leaves of my baby lotus and not a leaf for three weeks now. Assume it is a gonner. We have now created a chicken wire cover for the lotus tub. Does anyone in SW Ontario want to trade a piece of lotus for a green taro and a purple taro? Let me know if...

I've done some searching around and I've found various biological filtration systems available and I was hoping for some recommendations for a 1000 Gallon pond that WILL have a 1200-1800 GPH pump. It needs to be external and small / and/or buriable. Preferrably one of the all in one that's not...

I am building a small (100 gal.) raised pond against a retaining wall and my budget is limited, so I'm trying to buy as few pieces of equipment as possible, at least initially.

Hi, Moved into our house last year and we have a pond. Decided to get some fish and some air plant things and it has never been the same since.
