What does your pond look like ... Today?

[haver79]

@addy1 do you still have your underwater camera to see what they are doing under that ice?

Yeah, thats unfortunate. Things like that should go to local museums.

Greed & Need setting in.... ha ha ha!

@addy1 do you still have your underwater camera to see what they are doing under that ice?

Yes but the pond is frozen over, the cameras have a light coating of algae on them, so between the ice and the algae it is hard to see anything. You can see them swimming around past the cameras, not real well. Sort of like ghosts. They do a lot of just hanging around

This was just now,the time is off a little. It was grooming the camera.

I have to clean my underwater lights too. Too bad they don't have self cleaning camera...

Was really cold here last night and ponds are 80 % iced over dispite heater.

night vision makes them ghost like, I caught it just as it came up to the camera to nibble on the algae. Pond is still a warm 40, I am going out with a drill in the next few days to see how deep the ice is.

Im verry sorry addy1 i should laugh but when you said you were going out with a drill to see how deep the ice is i nearly choked on my beer, i could not even to start to imagine the conditions that the members have to cope with if i lived in those conditions building a pond would have been the last thing on my mind i take my hat off to you all

 

[addy1]

lol One thing nice, it does give you a break from moving water. The fish manage fine.

That was about 6 inches of slush on top of the pond at the time. Then we dipped to -8 and its a hard crust now.

Wow haver79,
That's some serious winter weather you are having there!

 

[MitchM]

ANY QUESTIONS?

That's a pretty clean cut through the snow.
Someone has a snowblower!
