Sun's out in So Cal
 

Finally, sunshine this afternoon. What a mess all that rain made. I've been
doing a constant water change in my pond for about four days now LOL.

Hey Joe,
Is that the last of the rain or is there
more coming?

Hi Kathy,

According to what I've seen, we are supposed to be good at least through
Friday and possibly into next week.

The soil is soooo saturated here. We only get about 11" per year, 4" on
average to this date and so far this season we have had 12 1/2". I guess
that doesn't sound like much to those who get way more rain, but they
typically have infrastructure to deal with it.

Funny, San Diego is hosting a meteorologists convention this week. At least
it will keep them out of the bars!

Hope you're not up against any of those moving hill sides. Oh My!!!

Pond wise, be sure and check your KH & pH, you may have to replace
buffering with baking soda. ~ jan

Yes, good point. Now where is that test kit?

===========================
Good for you! Nothing like a nice sunny day to lift one's spirits. And I'm
not talking about the alcoholic kind. Here in TN it's been rainy and gloomy
for almost a month. It's overcast again today. This is the 1st Dec. I am
still feeding my fish and I've had them since 1995. We're having some very
strange weather here.

I remember one year in San Berdo when we got 5" in one hour. Never in my
life have I seen anything like that. The water was literally in sheets
(rather than drops). It was a once in a lifetime storm I thought... Each
year it feels more and more like "We're not in Kansas Toto". Do you get
algae bloom this time of year out there from the influx of rain water?

It's raining regularly this week. My upgraded TT is maturing. Pond is
clearing. Some one got algae bloom from rain water?

If your pond is getting torrents of rain, keep an eye on the KH, there is
no buffering in rain water. Baking soda will keep your KH up and the filter
on line. ~ jan

Sun's out? I musta blinked and missed it. On the bright side, I'm
getting lots of rainwater for the fishtanks. We had a tornado watch up
in Oceanside today. Unreal!
