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. 6 total KOI about 100″.

Although still a new guy to fish, 7 ish years? I am moving further away from chemicals every year. Had […]
