Large Pond question...

Thanks for the info Rick,
Our pond is about 100 yards from the house. Running electricity down there
would be a major undertaking.

If we ever did/could, I could have a ton of fun down there!

news | Hello,

| Russian grass Carp is the ticket for the vegetation. They are sold

| thing too (cheap). shoot an email to the guy at www.koirific.com and ask

| Hi Carl,
| Gosh, it came with the property!
| S far all we have done with it is clean up the dam and tried to fish out
the
| algea.
| We have a small place, only 10.5 acres. On a place that is 100 acres you
| could easily put in a pond that was a full acre or more!

| The fellow at the sporting goods store told me I should buy some koi for
it,
| but at this point I am more concerned with the green yuck that is
forming as
| the water level drops. We are in Tennessee. We have quite a lot of rain
(so
| far that is) but the level has dropped a couple of feet and continues to
do
| so. We have no other means of filling it other than runoff from the
rain. I
| would think that if you have a spring on your property that would be
ideal.
|
| Depending on the area where you are planning this, you could have your
own
| lake if there were water to keep it full!

| PS: Thanks for the kind words

| | PS - nice pond BTW.
| |
| | What I mean is, can you have Koi in this kind of environment, or do
you
| | need to supplement it with filtration and aeration?
| |
| | I guess it is a broad question... Sorry. Just trying to decide of
this
| | is a type of pond that could easily be taken on on a 100 acre parcel I
| | have in mind...
