Exactly! But I should have taken to my own advice. Hurricane JMK hit my VF
and pond #1 today! Why you ask?

SNAKE!

While working on the expansion to my house, we saw a snake about 24" long,
1.5" diameter slither in to the veggie filter!

Either the snake goes or my family refuses to go to the backyard! So remove
everything in the filter and everything in the skippy filter in order to get
to the snake.

So I start all over now praying no prized Koi die in the process, and that
the dreaded algae bloom etc is limited! Wish me luck!

awful happens before you take action?

I think JMK is just saying that the numbers are not that far out of whack
so
why mess.
