Winterizing Your Pump
Reel,
I'm guessing then that you haven't had any problem with the seals drying or
cracking? That was my main concern with letting the pump dry out.

spring to help clear/filter the water in my 3,000 gallon pond until my
biofalls filter kicks in. Then, I disconnect it and...

How many fish in one pond?
Some go by the rule of 20 gallons per fish or 100 gallons for Koi. So, you
could support 13 goldfish in your pond.

Do you like your pond?
Go for it! The advice for ponds is much like the advice for aquariums -
buy/build the biggest one you can afford. I started with an 800 gallon pond
and that lasted me for around five years until we...

Water Hyacinth to Share?
Rob,
Surprised that you can still get one of those these days. They were outlawed
last year in my state - Arkansas.
Good luck. (Nice to see a legitimate pond post)

Raised Pond Wall
Lawrence,
If you're only going to go no more than a foot above ground level with your
wall then you can probably get by using 4" or 6" dry stack block like you

Pump recs
Oase has several sizes of pumps from which to choose. Sounds like you need
one of their Nautilus series.

New Pond filter suggestions...
John,
I started with a similar sized pond back in 1998. I upgraded to a Biofalls

Old RPers
I've logged on regularly since 1998. I read more than I contribute. Lately
I've been giving my "blocker sender" and "News Rule" features a workout.
