Return to the Pond ...

And so it continues, the pond work is never done, especially when we
have to remodel, or enlarge, or add streams, or ... Sorry you're still
dealing with the leak. Have you tried the milk trick yet? or does that
only work in still water? Well, someone will pipe up with an answer or
two I'm sure.

I have plenty to do. I never did install my diffuser last year, so I need to
do that this spring. I have a ton of leaves in there, so I'll have that to
contend with. My biggest problem is the leak in the stream. It forces me to
do water changes, but I don't like being forced to do anything.

My problems grew on me...

....VF was too low so it didn't fill
....lowered plumbing, got water in VF, VF liner shows a lot
....built wall across VF, pump water up...now most of liner is hidden
....VF over flows
....wife says, 'just make a stream'
....make stream
....stream leaks about 3 inches of water a week
....patch where i think it leaks
....leak slows, but doesn't stop
....winter comes, pumps off, leak stops
....damn stream (in the biblical sense, not in the beaver sense)

Yep, it's called the "fix one problem, create ten" syndrome, and it
especially applies to ponding.
