I'm posting a picture of my pond. Not sure if I have done something wrong or if I am just lacking patience. You can see in the pic I have two preformed ponds with a waterfall between them. The design when completely finished will look like one pond flowing to the other, but the top one is actually not connected at all. It will have its own pump eventually witha fountain. My waterfall is a modified skippy biofilter. I used their plans together with another video I saw to create more of a waterfall weir. The media in the waterfall is cut up blue aquarium filter from the petstore I couldn't find anything like what they had locally. My pump is a Beckett 3500gph, which was the size recommended from the water garden place nearby. I love the look and flow of my falls so, I think this was ok. I finished everything on Monday and started adding Aquascape pond bacteria (powder form) Monday as well. I have 9 comet goldfish (small) in there as well. Which seem to be doing ok, although I can only see them when they come up to eat. I added the water hyacinth today. Also after visiting our pond store added Aquascape Rapid Clear, per their instructions. I added it first to a bucket of pond water then poured it all around the pond. It seemed to be working in the bucket, but has done absolutely nothing for my pond. Do any of you have any suggestions as to what I should be doing to improve the water?
