Hello everyone my name is Bob M. In SA, Tx I just started a new pond in a rubbermaid 100 gal water trough it's 2' deep all around with a 700 GPH pump and a Tetra waterfall filter model # WF1000 just got it put up today added a chlorine remover and some bio boost along with bio balls above the filter pad put in 4 small goldfish and 2 oxygenating plants plan to finish it up tomorrow by backfilling the dirt around the tank and hiding the filter with rocks the waterfall is only about a foot above the water. ph is 8.5 fish act and look fine water is a little cloudy I think it should clear up in a week or so. It very rarely gets below freezing here might get 1 to 3 days below 32 F so what do i do now just wait? before i add more plants I know it's small but only had a small place to place pond that would not be in full sunlight all summer ( no trees in texas) man I would need to go down 5 feet or more otherwise I'll have a fish boil by mid summer. Just wanted to say hi and see if anyone had any ideas or about what kind and how many goldfish and other fish i can try way to small for Koi & about putting in shallow water plants thinking of a upside down plant pot made out of clay or plastic to set the plant on?
