Hi Myron,
I can not speak on the condition of the Eheim filter but I did want to address the loss of power from your two Fluval filters. I have a few- well, maybe 6 of these different ones. Over the years I have come to have to deal with the 303 and 304 or 404 […]
I can’t tell you what the fountain pump was my husband suprised me with it a few years ago( a beckett maybe).. we had it on a elevated stand in the pond about 2 feet underwater and 3 feet above the bottom. It had ran constanly for 2 years even through the winter, I […]
One thing that occurs to me. If you think that filter may have made a difference maybe you recently added it. Some of the things you can put in filters can variously pull bad things out of the water, and even change the ph (more likely by raising […]
What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?

Do you have live plants […]

Presently I’m using two pumps on my pond.
The waterfall and filter are powered by a older design Diamond Mag Flow pump I had for over 12 years. This pupm looks like a standard sump pump and is rated at 3,700 gph. This pump had turned may a Koi into chopped […]
funny you should ask I just made 2 of them
I bought the fine netting (green)they sell at the fabric store. fold it up under the hoop ( so the fabric sits 18″ or so down). I then folded the edges over the top of the hoop, stitched it closed on my sewing machine, […]
Does anyone have directions (or links to directions) on how to make a DIY water hyacinth/lettuce root protector ring from a hula hoop and (what kind of netting/fabric???)???? I’ve seen them before or read about how to make them before but have Googled all afternoon and cannot find anything except premade ones for sale. […]
