Gee, short questions look so easy…..
QUESTION: DOES A PROPERLY INSTALLED UV (ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT) MAKE THE POND WATER CLEANER OR DIRTIER?

Thanks Ramil, As someone posted, we can all use the “DELETE” key when we get the SPAM postings, …. but I think most of us would prefer we not get SPAM from some misfit that has no interest in posting pond, pond fish, or pond landscape related information or questions. Don ikeepkoi

Dear Colleen,
I have two water pumps by Beckett that I’ve purchased from The Home Depot approximately ten years ago, and are current circulating my 1500 gal. pond. I believe I bought them for around $99.99 each with 1250 gph at 1 foot above water level. They have larger and strongly […]

Hello Colleen. I can’t advise you about pumps because I don’t know enough, but I can tell you that my new Matala Pond Vac, purchased this spring, is probably the most useful purchase I’ve made this year. I’m attaching a link which will tell you more about it, although you’ll […]

I have been surfing the web and am getting very confused and could really use some advice. My pump died today after 3 1/2 years of great service. It was a Cyprio Hozelock model 3360 Cascade 1400. It hung in my pond and pumped water up to the back of my […]

I was hoping someone could answer me a few questions. I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank that I have had running for a good few months now. it was an established tank when I got it, yet very unkempt! aside from the few fatalities which from what I hear is par […]

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 […]

It’s good that you have a test kit and you are testing your water. And… you can almost never do too many partial water changes.
Fortunately, your pH is only 7.0 so that makes the ammonia less toxic to the fish but any ammonia isn’t a good thing. The higher the pH, the more […]

Hi Dennis. First of all, I would make a one third water change from the bottom of the pond and stop all feeding of your fish. Let me ask you a few questions.
How many fish were in this pond? What was their approximate size? Do you make water changes? If so, how much […]
