so i take off for a few days (3) to Gatlinberg TN for some alone time with the wife while kid is at church
camp. (hate taking time off in the week but oh well)
anyway i get back to an absurdly sparkling clear pond ??? cant for the life of me understand why.
it wasnt bad, but now i can see every little thing all the way to the bottom. and found 4 fish in the middle pond i had thought made it to the bottom pond. (wanst feeding them oops)

while in GB we stayed at the Christmas inn they have a 80,000 gallon Koi pond, massive waterfalls lots of plants etc.
i talked to the lady who cares for it and scored a bunch of plants (iris, etc) to take home.. she was thinning out that day! woot!

Well happy day for you JC.........you got a bunch of free plants and you can see the bottom of your pond and fishies too. That's algae for ya.............it comes and goes! Fish can go forever w/o feeding as they eat stuff that falls into the pond or feed on algae and plants. Didn't feed my goldfish for the first several yrs I had them. Now I feed them about 3 times a week just so they will learn I am their friend :razz:
