Tank #2, 650g (give or take a few) drained down today. Water parameters the same. There was more debris on the bottom which we expected since it's closer to the woods and more leaves and twigs blow through the net. There was also many small dead koi on the bottom and a unpleasant swampy odor....

The tank (Tank #1) with the undersized fry was drained yesterday and I ran a test on the water: Temp: 50F Ammonio: 0 Nitrates and Nitrites: Both 0 Total hardness: GH 150 KH ppm: 180 PH: 8.4 Tank #1 is in shade from the house in the winter. Full sun in summer.

I mentioned here before that I bought a small Greenhouse from Harbor Freight this past summer. It's heated and the plants are thriving - including my water-lettuce. :-))) I sprayed them for insects so no problems with that. Now I'm looking forward to buying water hyacinths next spring and...

See here is yet an example of how long ago that post was made and yet the person that said they liked it was a person that was just a lurker back then and no one ever seen hide nor hair of. But they are still very well versed in what goes on and how thngs are in rec.ponds. And I doubt very...

I am very much doubting it, but if anyone in the DFW area needs any, let me know! I am in overkill mode on the tads. (These are woodhouse toads)

We've been below freezing since Monday here in S.Central Washington(State), Stock tank heater (1,000 watt) has been turned on ever since. Currently koi pond is sitting at 40ish. The lily pond, with one of those new low watt heaters (100 watt) is sitting at 37F. We had a few flurries of snow,...

For those of you who read my posting about a month ago where my neighbours pond had been intruded by an unknown sourse and her Koi had been left scattered about the garden and left with their heads off! We have identified the culprit: It is mink!!!!!!!!!! Apparantly there have been many other...

After reading several websites that suggested covering a pond and keeping the filter running during the winter I decided to give it a go. My first attempt has used bigbubble bubble wrap covering about 70% of the pond area and insulating the filter. This has been a spectacular success with the...

You sound a lot like a self centered jerk that like to thump her tittyless chest in a lame assed attempt to make yorself look like someone. In all reality your a joke and as much of a troll as George is.............go crawl back under your slime covered rock, until we call. And while your at it...

Here's the latest: -I've been in contact with 2 members of Big-8. Both have offered advice, help and encouragement. I've given then full personal information about myself. -I've been in contact with unnamed posters in this group. They are long-time, trusted, genuine rec.ponders. I...

I know that the trolls are reading this as well as the true rec.ponders. I've received a long message back from a representative of Big-8. They are aware of the situation, and I'm told that I don't need to worry about false RFD's from the trolls. I've given them my personal info, and I...

You all are being duped. I have it on good source that this so called George,, who wants to start a moderated rec ponds group is no onther than.........are you ready for this......drum roll please.......Lone Gunman and Roy. Both of them have Hipcrime and both can easily propagate a group on...

As you already know, I provided this link in my first followup to my first post on Saturday. It gives some basic info, but it is __hopelessly__ outdated. Written in 1997. Most of what it says no longer applies. george

Hey George...go get a dam clue. Rec.ponds is dead, gonna stay dead, and will never be what it once was. There is just too many other forums that are moderated that are trashed or controlled by priveledged jerks. They tried to make a moderated forum already and its been trashed or used bery little....

My Fantails spawned about 3 weeks ago & I moved the pots with the eggs in to a new area that has no adult fish. There were hundreds originally, but now there only seems to be about 40 or so. I have found a lot of dead or nearly dead fry in the last week. We have had some very extreme weather here...

hello all!!! We recently purchased a fish pond. we do not have any fish in it yet. the question we have is for the the winter months do we just unplug the filter or what do we do? We have a 12 inch waterfall and it is a rubber liner. there isn't any fish or plant life yet. Thanks for your time Gary
