Hello from belgium

[vertigo72]

Hi all,

I just registered here to get some advice as Im pretty much a newbie.

The pond Im looking after, I inherited, its a very old 50m^3 natural pond with about a dozen Koi's and some other fish. Filtration is done by plants mostly, there is a 10m^2 marsh with irisses and some other plants. To be honest, its a bit of a mess, the water is anything but clear.

Oh, perhaps I should also add Im from Belgium, you now, Brussels and all that

Cheers!

The plants actually stay well planted, the roots grab that pea gravel and are actually hard to remove! I put in a lot of the plants right before cold hit and they have made a lot of roots over winter, now all are starting to green up.
