Oh, I thought a power head was different than a power filter.
So then why wouldn’t you remove the UGF entirely?

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 […]
It does depend For the fish themselves, accumulation of nitrates should indicate when a water change is required for the fishs’ sake. For the plants, that can be an entirely different story! There are many approaches to fertilizing and managing a planted tank. Some of them, in particular for […]
Hi Dave. Thanks for the follow-up on your pH saga. As for your cloudy water, several seasons ago I took a jar of my cloudy water to one of the local aquarium stores that I’d bought a few things from that season and they tested the water for me to […]
Thank you all for your welcome back remarks, advice, and encouragement. I’m adjusting my feeding schedule and it seems to be working well at 3 times minimum per week. It’s doing a number on the filters so I’m going to augment the filtering by adding another pump and DIY Filter at […]

OK, here are the results of my water testing:
Tap water from city source tested immediately, from a line that has never been softened: pH 7.4
Tap water, not softened, after 24 hour wait: pH 7.4
Reverse-osmosis water (R.O. unit is very small. I only can use it to top off losses between changes): pH 6.6
Softened tap water […]
I am trying to imagine your tank shape without looking for one online. Do you mean that it is basically a triangle, with the side facing toward the room bowed? If that is it, I can see why it is difficult to vacuum without removing the hood. What you need is more ambient light to […]
Thank you for explaining the technicality of the terms - I get it now. I wasn’t aware the use changed when discussing two separate water supplies.
