Hi Brenda. I know what your talking about when you say that you have to have some large rocks in your pond because of the high water table, it was the same thing with us. In the spring we had so much water under our liner because the water from our neighbourhood drained into […]

Thank you, Don. I’ll show this to Malcolm when he gets in. I’ve also sent along a few shots that will give you an idea of what I’ve got. I like the idea of rinsing the mulm out with a wand and I have just the right attachment for […]
That’s because the pH and temperature levels play a major role in the toxicity of ammonia. If you have a water temp of 80F and a pH of 8.0, then even 0.25ppm of ammonia can be dangerous whereas with a pH of 7.0, you wouldn’t have the same concerns until the ammonia reaches 2.0ppm. […]
My priorities on testing would be.
1. Amonia high amonia levels are quick killers of fish. Incoming water from fish that have just shipped are usualy vvery high in amonia which is why they need to taken out of the shipping water as soon as possible.
2. pH pH that is […]
My friend is moving up to a 2200 gallon pond, deepest part is approximately 4 feet, surface area approximately 110 sq ft. We’ll have a 90 gallon homemade biological filter feeding the waterfall, looking at the homemade venturi setups to put on the output of the skimmer pump to help […]
I still don’t understand how you cycle and then maintain the cycle of such a tiny non-tank that those poor mollies are living in. Change the water, it sounds dangerous.

Sam,
While I concur that vinegar is the best product for cleaning the hard water mineral build-up, I wanted to point out that Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) is not as dangerous or alarming as you implied and is often used in aquaria, ponds, etc.
The kind that most people buy at their local drug store is only a […]
While many people do 50% or larger PWC’s, doing more than 25% PWC’s at a time can result in a change in water parameters too much, too fast which can result in pH shock, temperature shock, osmoregulatory issues, stress issues, etc.
That article was dealing with a SW tank and did not give any actual test […]
Hi, I found this ‘controversial’ article on making several ‘huge’ PWC to reduce the nitrate level in a short time. I’m wondering what you’ll have to say about the effects of this on fish.
