I have a two-level triangular pond (approx 20' each side overall) which has
become very silted up with dust and muck blown in through the winter. I have been quite diligent in removing leaves: it's the fine particle stuff that is my problem. The water is clear (I have a sturdy pump/filter which runs 8 hours a day) but a lot of the muck that is building up on the bottom is not within the pump's collection range. Currently, as well as a good stocking of plants, I have frogs, tadpoles and at least two species of newt co-existing quite happily with visiting dragonflies etc etc. All very "in balance" but the muck level is rising and I do need to get quite a bit of it out with minimal impact on my wildlife. Can you recommend a suction device with an effective front-end filter that would shlurp up the muck but leave the tadpoles and other wildlife unaffected? -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." |
