Hi dennis, sorry for your loss, had the same 2 years ago. I have missed something here, i dont see any post about your trouble, you mentioned imports from japan, you had KHV hit your pond? If so, you cant add anymore […]
Well I finaly hit 36 hours without a fish loss. Now if the trend continues how long do you think it should be before I can safely start replacing some of the fish. I have 1800 gallons and three Koi left.
Remaining ate one Kohaku, and two Muji (one white and one […]
I just wanted to post an update on this…
I got the supplies (they took quite a bit longer than I thought with the web order) and got right to cutting the poly-pad. It is *very* nice, thick material, especially compared to the biobag I was using! I was able to make a continuous […]
No… do not use chemicals but you should increase the PWC frequency on that tank until we figure out what is happening to the ecology of that tank. There is something in that one tank that is causing your pH to drop so we need to identify the problem so you can fix it.
What size […]
Hi Lorraine (and Dennis). I’d like to chime in on this thread because I’m very concerned about the rock/boulder problem that you are highlighting here. We also have rocks and boulders in our pond, but they’re a necessity for us. You see, we’re just a few houses up from […]

I actually use the 100ml packages of Purigen which come pre-bagged in a sealed bag. The holes are really small compared to the media bags that I have for when I used to occasionally run carbon in my filters. Since the Purigen granules are so small, I would probably go with a piece […]
How big are those pearls compared to the neons?

hey guys, so some body is eating my neons…..i have in my tank(55 gal) 2 pearl goramis. an angel fish (pretty […]
Or better yet… get a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply)… the kind used for computers. It will condition the power so your filter pump doesn’t feel the spikes, dips and surges but it will also run your filter for an hour or so in the event of a power outage. A small 500-750mW UPS […]
Dennis, I would suggest you take a look at the Sequence 750 series of pumps for your pond/filter setup. The 750 series are super energy efficient and still put out a pretty heft volume of water. There are two pump models in that series (unless they’ve added more. You’ll could probably buy […]
