When to clean filter?

I'm pretty sure 'dyi' is an acronym for "Do yourself in" :-)

Derek, no dyslexic you. I sure didn't catch that. ) And you may very well
be right in the long run, if I do any more headers into the pond.

the product of having three teenagers and no life or money ;-)

Derek replied: No, no, no. It's _not_ laziness. You're simply trying to design a filter
which will work for the millions of _other_ ponders out there who _are_
lazy. It's just a public service on your part :-)

Finally the voice of reason. In simple form: Stop the Guilt. Now let's
talk about how K30 culls the herd when she gets too many fish. ;o)

Oh, let's not or I might get an alligator sent after me!
Anyway it was DH and the outlet pipe and the router rooter and never seeing
that fish again and the horror of it all....

New subject - does anyone else have dreams about their pond? Last night I
dreamt that I looked out the window and it was totally drained!

I hope that dream doesn't start anything! I used to (and sometimes still do)
have a dream where I somehow signed up for some obscure calculus class but
never went to a lecture, thinking I had dropped it. At the end of the
semester they were going to make me take the final and if I didn't pass I
wouldn't graduate.

If I dream the pond is empty, I better dream that the fish have reverse
scuba equipment! :-)

I do, they usually are about the fish doing unusual things.
Or the waterfall is more like Niagara Falls!

it's a do-it-yourself filter. I'll let Jan explain...

The emphasis is on Yourself. Your kidneys and liver are some the most
efficient filters around, just drink 8 cups of pond water, and pee it back
into the pond every day.

I was in that class. I didn't see you there. Then again, I was having
trouble going to the lectures, too...

20 years later, I've finally almost completed my degree - having made sure
to take a program that involved NO calculus.

Hmm. Do it yourself = diy

Just a thought:
It is helpful to quote a bit of what triggered you to respond, and
posting underneath it, like as in a conversation is cool, too.

Oh my yes, nightmares, pond draining, fish swimming in the waterless pond,
in the air, or all flopping on the bottom. That my neighbors own raccoons
and let them loose at night.

Koi ponds got covered for fall today, suppose to have wind tomorrow, if we
do, at least there will be one less chore for me to do, that of skimming
out the leaves or vaccing them off the bottom. First time I've covered them
before a big wind hit. ~ jan
