Looking very good Sissy!! GOOD JOB on all the hard work too!! The pond looks really big now too, fish look like they are inspecting every inch of new home, sure they are planning another nursery too! Lots of Baby fish by summer I would say!

laguna 45 aerator on ebay through wayfair 123.64 35 watts of power .Sold my other aerator because it was to small for my pond

 

[sissy]

a good way to really aerate your pond and see if that is what is causing your green water is a ball valve on a hose off your pump .if it starts to clear up in 1 or 2 days that is it.Restrict some of the flow of water coming out your ball valve by turning the knob to partially close it off to water flow and that aerates the water .

pond turned a little green and has not cycle yet .The weather is really making it hard .Hoping my new aerator comes today or tomorrow to help aerate the pond more .Thank you ,but now grass mowing season is on also .I fertilized my lawn and darn thing took off .Mowed the side yard yesterday .Deer ate a lot of my shrubs that are supposed to have green on them all winter so addy you are not the only one that has funny looking stuff growing in your yard .I guess it is there form of yarden art

I don't mind the green water as it will also help the good muck grow on the liner faster .Water temp is now at 55 degrees

Cool sissy!

 

[sissy]

The manifold is metal also and gosh is this thing is heavy and has nice rubber feet on it and it is very quiet also .My other one hummed and this one no noise and for the price it was a steal .I have to go get more airline and more check valves

great Sissy!

I figure maybe it would help people who may want an air pump to see this and see the price .I think we should have a post here for air pumps and pond pumps and rate them ourselves on gph,wattage, performance ,cost and what we found desirable in them and maybe even the flaws in them .It would be like a pond consumer affairs rating system .Give other ponders on here asking about pumps and stuff like where to find it and how it works
