MMAX Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Wow, over 12,000 views. I probably should update this, give me a couple days and I'll snap some pics. Everything's rolling along nicely and I even have a baby fish this year. I have noticed the goldfish spawning but neve did see any fry. Was feeding yesterday and saw one 2 incher swimming around. Dull orange color with a couple of white patches on his head. I'll have to try netting him to get a positive ID but I'm hoping it's a koi.

ephamous Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 where did you get the lining (black shape thing) for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 There are a few pond-supply stores around town. My favorite is Nature's Corner Store. Some people have said they can also pick up pond liner at Home Depot or Lowe's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMAX Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Just completed a 500 gallon water change today, pulled,cleaned and set all my potted plants and netted a pile of crud and algae out. Filter bin still had an iceberg inside it. Filled it with water, set an old aquarium heater in and covered with a black tarp. Should be free in a couple of days. Won't be long before the whole thing runs again. This year I'll update with pics FOR SURE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMAX Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ok, here's some pics... Pond just didn't want to clear up - found out why. One of my lily tubs slid down into the depths spilling dirt everywhere. Thought it was time, so I put on the waders and jumped in for a good clean up. This is what I found. Some waterfall pics. I hit all the stream rocks with hydrogen peroxide and a wire brush to clean all the old algae off. Decided to clean the filter this year also. The company I got the design from said you never have to clean it but it needed it. The bacteria die every winter anyway. Random shot of cow skull beside the bog.

MMAX Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Great pond, can't wait to see pics of your fish. Threw in 3 large goldfish yesterday I got for free. Looking to maybe add 1 more koi this year and that's it. Stay tuned for some pics of the gang during feeding time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labman Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 After reading this, now I just have to have one for myself! Good job, a little labour intensive for my old bones, but, I know where to rent a mini-hoe! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodsboys Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Looks great. Are you running die for algae control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMAX Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Yep, although it doesn't help much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodsboys Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have a serious bloom happening in my "pond" too right now. Horrible growing season so far. Out of 5 normally prolific lilies I have 4 leaves floating so far. Normally I'd have tons on each plant with a couple of booms showing up near the rhyzomes. I'm going to add some more marginals myself and hope it helps. Hate using chemicals and not enough funds to do a UV right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
