It is now almost winter and my pond finally decides to clear. You all
remember me complaining all season about my pond looking like the Potomac River, well it is now clear.What created this awesome change in the water clarity, chemicals no, UV no, was it weather, no! I added more Water Hycianth to the pond last week ( I got a great deal local for end of season) and it cleared in one day. I am now sold on Veggie filters. I am so happy. I even see some babies I didn't know I had. Joann |

Hey! The Potomac Rivers near me (North and South Branches) are usually
clear. Only when there has been torrential rain do they get murky. "FBCS" wrote in message ... It is now almost winter and my pond finally decides to clear.

Joann actually if your weather is cool/cold now that will do it. next season leave it alone from the begining, add more floating plants and it will clear faster. -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 cell 401-225-0556 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!

![]() When it is too cold yet for water hyacinths, in the spring, try buying watercress at the supermarket. I tied bunches of it in a basket at the edge of my filter and felt soooooo ahead of the game until the mice ate it all. k30a |

Check out the water going over the Woodrow Wilson bridge, people are even
afraid to fish there. I have seen the South branch that runs through Smokehole WVA it is beautiful and clear. My husband loves it there. Joann "pixi" wrote in message ... Hey!
