Thought I’d share with the group my near loss of pond, recovery, and lesson learned. Specs. 1,700 Gal. pond, Performance Pro 1/4-49 pump, Ultima II 2,000 filter and Aqua UV 80W. Aloha Oregon, near Portland. […]
I got a used 55 gal tank and it was taken down the day I picked it up. I took the UGF out when I got the tank home and started to fill it. The water was so filthy, I had to drain the tank and refill. I’m not sure how many times I […]
Right, so my reply is dont do that. But again, I could be wrong. If Lenny or Steve or Ray advised N to do what she is doing, then go with their advice.
If you are going to take the tank apart, remove the UGF forever and replace with a different type of filter.

Dear Colleen,
I have two water pumps by Beckett that I’ve purchased from The Home Depot approximately ten years ago, and are current circulating my 1500 gal. pond. I believe I bought them for around $99.99 each with 1250 gph at 1 foot above water level. They have larger and strongly […]
You have 2 fish in your 10 gallon tank.
So we know the tank is probably well cycled and healthy.
You no longer have any plants. I am fascinated that your grass like plant from so very well. So many people have no real luck with plants. […]

I have been surfing the web and am getting very confused and could really use some advice. My pump died today after 3 1/2 years of great service. It was a Cyprio Hozelock model 3360 Cascade 1400. It hung in my pond and pumped water up to the back of my […]
Ok Im not sure what kind of plants these are they are long, thick, almost plush vine like plants. One is about 4 foot long with other pieces vining out down it and the other is about 2 foot long they each only have one root, they are pretty almost look fake. In my tank […]
Thanks for the suggestions. All seems OK with the fish so far. But my pond is almost entirely surrounded by fireants. Thanks, Liane, for the information about them being members of the wasp family - I didn’t know that, but it sure explains the painful bites. I don’t have systemic […]
