Pond update

[koiguy1969]

heres the pond as of about 7:00 am today 6-1-2010... pumped most of the basement pond water in and swapped media between filters... the pond has already been greened up, and U.Ved and cleared up before the water swap...U.V is put away for the season. my 70 gal koiguy filter will maintain this clarity all season. especially once the lillies fill in. think i might go get some hiacynths and lettuce today! my filter media still looks real good. makes me wonder when its going to clog and not perform...3rd year of nonstop use..and still has never been cleaned.HOORAY FOR SCRUBBIES AND CUT TO FIT FURNACE FILTERS!! water is 28" to 30" deep.

24" waterfall side stepped down to 28"-30" by patio stones(nearest side) except where the plant ledges that i wish were'nt there are...thanx

 

[koiguy1969]

koiguy- how many lilies do you have? I see a lot of pots. Are they all liles or do you have other plants?

 

[koiguy1969]

i split my lillies this year.. those pots are all lillies...put some on craigslist already may off some more but weve had strange weather and theyre behind schedule, plus i split them a little late this year

ponds looking good ... love the colour of your iris ... have you got rid of a lot of your fish ? didnt see your yellow ones

 

[koiguy1969]

i sold a bunch on craigslist about a month ago...kept 6 koi , and i still have 30 or so goldies from last year...2-3 inchers...getting rid of all this fall. to get a breeding pair i think.
