Ok since my son received some guppies from his grandma the males have been just evil. We made sure to go get some more females so it was a 1 male to 3 female ratio give or take a few. He had a total of 13 guppies. The males have killed ALL the females twice […]
I got a used 55 gal tank and it was taken down the day I picked it up. I took the UGF out when I got the tank home and started to fill it. The water was so filthy, I had to drain the tank and refill. I’m not sure how many times I […]
The polyester layer is going to have a lot of your bacteria. Did Lenny or Steve or Ray advise this step?
I think I would probably not do that until you are ready to replace the UGF with a power filter. But I haven’t had a UGF for 30 years, so Lenny, Steve or […]
Do you own a big wet-vac or shop-vac? I’d be tempted to suck up the mounds after putting some liquid ant killer in the wet-vac reservoir first. You could even leave the pesticide in the reservoir for a couple of days and work on the mounds every day or twice a day since […]
You never know, this new guy could be the pond equivalent of the hot pool guy. Rich ladies with ponds may be paying for their ponds cleaned twice and week instead of once a week or once every two weeks. They may be paying more for the hot pond guy to walk around their ponds […]

Actualy here is a description of my present filter system.
I have a pump of 3,600GPH that sits at the lowest point in my pond. This pump then pumps the water up into the top of a container that is roughly 30″ long and 12 to 15″ wide. When it goes […]
Thanks everyone for responding so quickly. There is so much conflicting information on where to keep your ammonia level during cycling. I have been checking the levels twice a day, and have been changing out 2g (out of 20), once or twice a day, to keep ammonia down under 1ppm. Can I keep […]
Good morning Kelly,
If the fish are not eating all you are giving them then you need to cut back. The left over feed is causing high levels in your tank. I think you would be better off to feed them two flakes twice a day and not feed them the wafer.
Clean out any uneaten […]
