I didn't seal the waterfall liner to the pond. Again, they said I didn't need to that they don't seal any of their liners. The place I go to is a specialty place and they have 3 well established koi ponds on site. They are all outdoors and beautiful and have pristine water with huge fish and are most definitely overstocked for their size. I figured if they can keep the water that clear with that many fish then they must know something. If I seal the liner down what do I use to seal it with and how far down does it need to go?
I could take some of my water to Petsmart for testing I think, since I bought the fish there. Maybe I will try that. It is definitely improving though. I can finally see the bottom and the fish in it. Here's a pic. The water is still brown, but no more green, YEA! But now there is this white stuff floating around here and there. For lack of any better way to describe it, it looks like spit bubbles.
The back pond is not attached and doesn't have any water in it yet because I still need to get the pump and filter for it. I was told that there was no way to attach the 2 preforms to feed each other since neither of them have any sort of spillway. It would have been ideal to have them connected. If any of you have suggestions for how I could do that then great!! Otherwise, I was planning to set up just a simple mechanical filter and small pump to create a fountain in the center with plants all along the side plant shelves, probably covering most of the water. I wasn't going to ever put fish in there, and was planning to use rocks to hide the liner enough so that it apears to all be connected.
