So my husband and I put the hand me down used pond in the ground yesterday, filled it up and turned on the filter/fountain pump. What is next? We tried scrubbing the old "gunk" off the edges but a lot of it refused to break loose. So when we filled the pond with water it was not ...clear or clean looking. Will the water settle and turn clear? What do we do next? We are in the process of placing the rocks around the edge and disguising the rim with moss and plants. How long should we wait to start adding plants, the local pond store employee told us to wait about 3 weeks and add about 12-15 feeder fish to "season" the pond. What is a good cheap filter for our small pond? How can we protect out pond from possums and crows? Any ideas? Links to good sites about ponds?
