I have a 300 gallon preform. My neighbor has a 200 gallon preform. I do have bio.mech filter and all she has is a simple pump with a canister and one fine sponge in it. No bio balls, no course filter or medium, just one fine filter that is tiny. She said she puts no chemicals in. She has 7 6 inch...

greetings, i recall from my reef keeping days that i would initiate a new aquarium by introducing some mollys. not only were they hardy but if/when they died, their decomposition helped with the bacteria cycle. is it the same with ponds? the reason i ask is that we found a dead frog in our pool...

Since I have neither the time, funds or energy to get a pond up and running anytime in the future, I decided to ask a friend if I could send my fishes out to Summer Camp at his place. He's got the room with 14 ponds, and the goldfish pond is roughly 4,000 gallons. Sent the goldfish to the 4,000 and...

We've got the cement berm done. The cement pad for the settling tank is also done. The shelves have been improved. All we need do now is replace the carpets, quilts and then the rubber liner. The fence and net is last of course. Meanwhile the koi are doing great in the pool behind the house...
