Heather, I think it is an overcrowding issue- I should talk as my 55 has a pile of platys and my pond is overstocked but I didn’t do it. the fish did. Maybe a 20 Gal tank would make things easier- I always had trouble with 10 gal as they emptied too fast […]
Hey, Okay but clean up will be alot more easier to clean then what I am doing right now. I can see that cleaning out of the pond is alot more then pulling out of the pond and putting back in the pond, just turn […]
Hi, Getting a 50 gallon tank is a good idea. 10 gallon tanks are only beginner tanks because of the cost. A 50 gallon tank will be much easier to maintain than a 10 gallon tank is. That may sound funny.. Its very true. Your snails are a good problem. They cling to the tank […]

David, attached is a picture of my pond. The pump is located behind the tree. Do I need two check valve, one coming out of the pond and the other before the leaf basket? also, can I just use the water hose to fill up the leaf basket? […]
Wow that is a multi phase filtering system. If I applied all this filters to my set up I would have a big issue hiding them a my pond is a display right in front of my house as part of a graden. When I get a chance I’ll post […]
Where is the pump in relation to the water level in the pond? Is it above or below and by how much? If it is above the pond water level it will be harder to prime. If you have gate valves leading to the leaf basked and on the other side of […]
