Looks good Rhern. What height did you set your BD at, you mentioned 1-2" earlier. There's a formula somewhere but approx half to 3/4 inch should be...

Subscribed :like: Beautiful location. Is that Denver in the distance?

Thanks Steve. Does the weir laying low affect your water level in the pond then, ie it's lower, or did you install your skimmer a wee bit higher to...

I am really glad Russ agreed to do my pond. I am addicted to aquarium/ponds and I want things to be done the best possible for the creatures I keep....

Nitrate Klear probably contains spore forming bacteria. Spore-forming bacteria can be formulated in dry form such as a powder or a tablet. The likely...

Stable ginrin? I did not know there was such a thing as unstable ginrin. Every ginrin koi that I recall having stayed about the same as far as I...

The KI Nitrifier from Keaton Aquatics does work . Adding it to My shower circuit on a new pond got it cycled within 2 weeks ....

I agree with Tony that the gravel may be the problem as it is accumulating the fish waste and sludge and probably preventing it from reaching the...

I am guessing that you are new to koi, have them in an aquarium and have not tested the water, and probably don't have the test kits. The test kits...

If the medication had been in the pond for more than 12 hours, it had probably done all that it was going to do. I would probably do a second...
