ponds sit for a year before you put fish in. You don't have to faff around
with chemical this and that, you let the pond just sit there for a year (at
least) to sort out its own chemistry


???????????

did you look at pics of my pond in my sig? it's a "formal" pond - not
a farm pond where you may wait for grasses to cultivate to achieve a
natural form of filtration.

the pond has never been dosed with chemicals. the only chems ever
added has been to remove chloramines at wcs.

positive vibes, rasta
