Very cool. My pond is just starting to wake up here. It's been cool and rainy but I see the sun out today. Maybe I can get some outside work done now. Lilies are coming up more and more each day, Parrots feather is starting to feather out............looks like there is hope in the future for a summer after all :regular_waving_emot

We will do the summer dance for you! We YIPPEE cooled off again, a beautiful 77 with no humidity.

Nice pond, Is your water always that color?



I hear that j.w it's been a slow start here in Mi as well my pond is just starting to take off..

 

[noobfisher]

It has been recently. I dont mind the color as long as parameters are good. I dunno if they are my test kit will be here the 9th

The color of that water is so unreal, I would have sworn you used fluorescent green liner. Its actually very pretty lol. And you're right not to worry about it, it looks like a new pond? its not uncommon to have algae blooms then.

Actually it's a pool liner ( lack of money) it works great, very puncture resistant actually. I have to hit it very hard with a spade shovel to put a small cut in it. The combo of algae and blue pool liner is what I think it is. The fish love it I have 5 koi from 4-8 inches big and I shub 4". They gave me fishy kisses on my fingers yesterday haha. Pond has been up about 1 year but half of it was winter and kept changing my filter design.

No harm in using a pool liner. Sounds like your fish like it!

I will be using the left over I cut off for my filter drain bog!!!!

 

[addy1]

Neat idea

 

[noobfisher]

Should i still poke holes in it or just a few since it will only see water every 2-3 days

 

[addy1]

I would leave hole less until you see how quickly the water evaporates and it dries up. My carnivorous bogs are hole less and they are drying nicely. Full sun.

Im going to work on this tomorrow. It will be in full sun!!! All day. I guess im going to up my bio in my filter i found a fish i wanted so badly!!

Put a deposit on the fish? neat keep us informed on how you do
