Herons by
Tony Crabtree
HI,
We have had a successful, small (100 gallon), garden pond for some years.
We have lost some fish to raccoons, but with fishing line across pond to
deter herons, and a petstore electric fence to ward off raccoons, have
recently done well.
HOWEVER after a bird commotion today, we looked to see...

vacuum leak by
[email protected]
Hi, I have a fluid art challenger system running against our pond. I
suspect I have a vacuum leak somewhere since the pump starves for
water after about 10-12hrs. Any pointers on how one can diagnose the
problem? No apparent water leaks while the system is running.

My goldfish have got finrot, tailrot by
[email protected]
Hi
I've noticed recently that a couple of my fish (goldfish) have lost
their tails. I'm assuming this is tailrot\finrot. I've googled the
subject and discovered that it's quite easy to treat by medicine and a
partial water change but is there anything else I can do to make sure
it doesn't happen...

Hi Ann,
Long time since I've been here! Hadn't you moved away from Houston?
Anyway, it might have been my post? When I had city water with

Hi Ann,
Sorry the link didn't work. Goto www.homedepot.com and type in a
search for 'whole house water filter' The price can vary from $39 to
$70 depending on where you buy it. Yes, it removed the
ammonia/chlorine mixture that was in our water. Before I used it, I
tested the water before it...

ps, I didn't mean to recommend HomeDepot, it's best to go to a local
hardware store so you can check the threading for the filter. You
might need a small adapter.
