sissys pond

[sissy]

today test the water and for the 3rd time change the waterfall .Geeze no wonder they say women can't make up there minds .If I can get ph up to 8 then fish will go back in .I wish the weather people could figure out what part of this next storm is going to hit us .Have to do another water exchange between stock tanks and pond

 

[j.w]

I must have changed the rocks around my waterfall a zillion and one times sissy and my back hurt so bad I could hardly stand......................and then I had to do it one more time

 

[sissy]

well did not put rocks on waterfall .I tested water and decided fish could go back in .Water is still cloudy and have to buy more quilt bating .But to risky to keep aggie and bert in that tank any longer they were starting to get frisky so safer they do that in the pond

 

[sissy]

today march 15th and then came fish .I figure it was better to get them back in and worry about the other stuff later .Now just have to wait for water to clear up

very nice Sissy, that is a ton of work you have done for your fishy friends.

 

[j.w]

With all the work you are going through for those fish sissy I hope they are both jumping for joy now in there new digs

 

[sissy]

I think they will once the water clears up .Still have to add more water .But I did notice my 2 lotus tubers had stems over 6 inches long .They were in the stock tanks and I had no clue they were even growing

 

[addy1]

I have seen a few leaves on my lotus tubers.

 

[sissy]

just stems no leaves but glad they are growing.Water is clearer this morning in the pond you can see the bottom but sure wish right now I had more quilt batting

 

[sissy]

I did not know that the stems came out both sides .Went down and added lava rock in a bucket in water fall outlet with some quilt batting and a basket of lava rock

 

[sissy]

Well added up my total cost so far and that is with the 60 dollars i spent on another stock tank and so far I am at 599 dollars spent .I did not include the block I bought yet .I have to figure that out because I had 2 -25 dollar off coupons from lowes and bought stuff for the house also .Liner being most expensive part .But with new pumps working my electric bill was only 118.86 and that's with running my well to keep the leaking pond full plus it helped with the rain and melting snow .Taxes for electric company were just under 20 dollars for last month .

 

[sissy]

today pond and my lotus tuber floated out of pot in stock tank .I bought these seeds a week ago at the dollar store and planted them yesterday and look what I found this morning

 

[j.w]

[sissy]
