My 300 gallond pond is doing great. I little green algae but the water
is finally crystal clear. But my small 50 gallon pond is fish/plantless. Its for a fountain. I leave the fountain on 24/7 but 2 times now I had to drain it because of mosquito larve swimming the water, about 200. So moving water does not distract them. I put 1 ounce of bleach in the water and I have no problems. Is this ok with a small fountain that has a screen over it (1/2 inch sq. holes) No birds or wildlife can get to the water. Also the bleach keeps the pump working better and very clear. But does it kill mosquito larve? Thank you |

Tons of it at your local pool supply place, including little lozenges you can drop in there, to keep the levels relatively stable. But no need for harsh chemcials, look he http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search You could also try some mosquito fish in that little 50 gallon if you wanted. And the dunks, fish, and plants are compatible... C// |

But does it kill mosquito larve? Thank you Just add mosquito fish. They breed like crazy and will take care of *any* mosquito larvae that tries to live in your pond. A lot of County Mosquito Abatement agencies will even provide them for free! Don't think the fish will suriveve in Bleeched water. -- d:Johan; Certifiable me; http://www.aacity.net Outgoing mail is not certified Virus Free. Not checked by a anti-virus system.
