Hi i am new to the forum although i have kept a wide variety of fish ,reptiles and birds since i was a teen, im now 51. I live in the Midlands in UK and have a small pond in my garden of about 125 Gallons, i have a selection of fish such as koi, grass and common carp and goldfish., not to mention the annual invasion of frogs each year for spawning.

Yep its not very big but havent lost a fish in over 3 years, except for one goldfish that was strangled by an amorous frog

Ahem senoir moment my pond is 4oo gall i was thinking about my half barrel i have in my garden not my pond. My barrel is waiting for me to add some minnows/ sticklebacks to make it a mini pond, btw anyone know a stockist who sells these pesky little fish.

Welcome to this crazy group of ponders.

Just after i joined the forum my pond pump failed on me, i have spent the last few weeks trying to get on top of the green water that bloomed whiile i sorted out a new one. On a sort of related issue can a pump be too fast for the UV in my filter to catch the green water or does it zap it no matter how fast the water goes through it. I have always gone for a strong water flow without thinking about the UV.
