glad to see its clearing up for ya...sure makes things more enjoyable,huh?

UV's really are the bomb! Couldn't live without one, that's for sure!

 

[DrDave]

If everything else is right, you don't need one at all. My ponds are always clear and I don't use one.
Worried about watts? They don't run for free and replacement cost isn't cheap either.

awww crap. I just found the little bird dead in the pond assedout: Ohh well. It was around to play lifeguard this time. :frown:

 

[koikeepr]

oh, you'd be surprised what you'll find dead in a pond (or alive). Birds, snakes, frogs, and other weird things you never expected.

 

[DrDave]

When I had a swimming pool, I found rats, mice, snakes and lizards in my skimmer all the time.

 

[lotust1]

Yeah this was the first animal I found in 2 years. I guess this little guy was unlucky

I am making my nature type pond with a walk out slope so hopefully anything that falls in will be able to crawl out.
