New pond filtration

[sissy]

They had a 20% off coupon in there add you could have used also as I got that pump also .I decided to use the 940 gph from harbor frieght in my stock tank .Also should get the warranty just incase .You can go on there sight or call customer service for extra warranty .I always get one > i burned one pump out because of low water and they replaced it no questions asked .I also like the pump I got at lowes It has a low water cutoff .I can't spend money on better pumps and not really sure these days it is worth it seems they don't make things like they used too ,they don't want them to last .

Here are the two Koi we bought yesterday. We have orange, yellow, silver and spotted ones, so we had to find some colors we didnt have. So we found a white one and a black one to round out our colors.









and here's some shots of the feeding fish this morning.

Im south of des moines and we got hammered last night. Got a little over 4 inches of rain in 3 hrs. I built the sides up on my pond for rain runoff and I still had water getting in. It was 6 inches over the full mark. Went out there today and the water is still pretty clear despite all the rain. Looks like we got more coming tonight. Just checked radar and its coming our way.

Petsmart is where those two came from, but they didn't have any butterfly, and the regular ones weren't all that great. They had a tank with black koi, $12 a piece, and then another tank of Ogan koi, there where I found the white one. $12 for that one too.

The employee helping us said that they get a new shipment of fish in on Wednesday. Not sure if your store is on the same delievery date. She told us they had a koi that looked like it was solid gold and it was really sparkly. It lasted about 2hrs before someone bought it.
