Past the new pond green phase!

Can't believe how crystal clear my water is finally after a month of pea soup. Thanks to Sissy(my nemesis lol) for her mini-sand filter among other things. :-D

 

[Malak]

I think the extreme growth of the lillies has helped also. Got more than 1/3 of the surface covered by thriving plants. The water hyacinth is doing well and the watercress(which used to be 1/3) is dying off.

Fantastic malak, it has been a road for you!

 

[Malak]

Yeah, like a 2nd job. Thanks.

It's looking good Malak. Mine is clearing up too, but it's still a work in progress.

Looking good. Amazing the power of some plants.

 

[j.w]

Looks sparkling clear, plants look good too, too bad tho about the Water Cress, hoping mine makes it

Tell me if you think you see more than 5 at once. Not sure if 6 are still alive or not.

 

[j.w]

Man they are in the fast feeding frenzy mode so it's hard to tell...........I did see 5 at one time tho........could be another one off to the side...........who knows.......you'll just have to keep watching

 

[addy1]

I think six malak, there is one point towards the end of your video, where five are towards the bottom of the picture and swim off, a blip later one comes in from the top of the picture. That may be #6. It happens fast enough I don't think they could circle that fast.

 

[Malak]

Yes, the circling & shadows make it hard. Thanks for the encouragement that they all made it except the the one when I first got them. Tough little buggers with all the pH swings daily. SO glad I did not get koi.

Wow your pond looks great and those lilies look good and healthy .You have ph spikes yet .Are you using enough oyster shells to balance it .I found adding almost 15 lbs.of them in the filters in the pond and in my swimming pool floaters and 2 bags hanging from my bridge and still think I need more,besides the bag that spilled out in the bottom of the pond . Fish seem to like rooting in the spilled stuff .Water has been really good since adding that much .Take a shower roll in oyster shells jump in pond LOL

 

[Malak]

nope, high pH is the issue and adding them for even half an hour makes it much worse

thanks
