Message: [QUOTE="barryian, post: 302816, member: 6010"] I understand completely. Being in the suburbs also, I have a couple of thousand sq ft less than you. My house is a good size ( we did 3 extensions and an in-ground pool ) over many years so outdoor space is disappearing. I'm big into landscaping, some specimen trees & perennials, etc. Now our 3 girls are also out, married and there are 4 grandsons with #5 in the oven. So, in 2012, I put a bundle into rebuilding the pond. Today I did the infamous PP treatment. I also ran 80 foot of 2" pvc from my backwash to an area in the trees and shrubs where it will stop flooding my neighbors garden. He's a cool guy and said, it's only water going into his garden but, I decided to redo it. I should post a before pp and after pp in the morning. Water actually looks like glass and the colors on the koi are so vivid, it always amazes me. I probably won't do pp again until late fall, maybe once if there's a cool summer day and sun isn't blazing. So, bogs are cool, mine is cool and it all works. I guess I enjoy working on it. At this point, retrofitting a bog would be a lot of work and defeat the system I have in place. I guess we all have our preferences and mine is maybe more sterile looking to you, understandably so, but I love sitting down by these guys with amazing clarity and meditating on a big rock I have in place. You have to admit, it is an amazing passion and most can't relate. So to me and to you I'm sure, running 80' of pvc, glueing and working isn't work at all... plus, I have all the time in the world. I have a slap tear in my shoulder but it's going to have to wait until winter ...lol ... So all's good Lisa, bog or unbog ..lol ... reading above just now and yikes, no water changes and they'll bury me for doing pp treatments ... hahaha ... To each is own his/her own, right? Enjoy!!! <>< <>< <>< :-) [/QUOTE]
