I just watched the pee video shall we call it that,lol and it came in just fine for me. Bear was just giving the fish a nice tropical bit of a warm shower :biggrin:

Oh my you just popped up in front of me w/ new message says you fell in Bears pee spot. Little tipping of the wine kinda early there Colleen or was it a little of the purple haze that knocked you in for a loop :biggrinangelA:

Thanks for letting me visit and thanks also for the hot chocolate from the weather thread................it was delicious and I put a spoonful of coconut oil in it to give it a little extra touch of flavor

 

[callingcolleen1]

Yes, will have to have you both over again! ha ha ha! Now that I have high speed internet I can download lots of new videos of how my pond winter's, so people out there can see how I run the pond' Can't wait for spring and then I can do videos of my ponds slowly coming back to life, it will be like you were "virtually" there with me! ha ha ha

I have parrots feather and hornwort growing nice and green in the ponds, one piece is in the deep end and just about ready to hit the surface. thick and bushy in the subbie tank, the cold must not bother it.

Hornwort is very tough, As soon as the ice melts again, the hornwort will start to resurface, until the fish get hungry in the spring, then the hornwort gets a good thinning out!

Good natural food for them to munch on.

I think you officially are the top video recorder of the forum now Colleen. I like them and like how you narrate them for us. I noticed you were humming in one of them but I think we might like a little song too now and then

See how quick running water will cut a hole in my ice!!
If you run pump all winter it will help rid the pond of ice quicker.

If you only have a pond with one level of water and it is not deicing quick with running water, top the pond right up till it almost flows over the ice, then the water that is circulating can reach and surround the ice, and that will melt the ice much quicker.....

I am not sure why the video cut out at the last part, but you can still get to see the running water cut threw the one inch ice....

Yep cuts through right nicely :cheerful:
