pond under it's winter tent

Wow. Nice!

Wow. Nice!

our fish are like our kids, right? God knows how much money and time I spend on them! I mainly started doing this when I realized it's the wind that accelerates winter evaporation and creates thicker ice. Really nice now in spring when I uncover and get the pond going probably a month sooner than I used to. Works well to keep any stray leaves out of the pond, too.

i just neglect my pond but it thrives on it ,no time for it .I wish I had the time but it is getting harder and harder to get the time .3 acres to mow shrubs to trim ,trees to trim and then grocery shopping and remodeling the house by myself and redoing guest cottage .But seems the pond does not care an doing great ,water is clear fish are happy and filters are neglected .Only thing i have done is take dead hyacinth out and cut back dead banana plants

Took the net off the pond today. Normally I wait until the ice freezes before I take it off, but we may have quite a bit of snow on the way so I wanted it off before that comes.

24 here, light layer of ice on the ponds, it will melt by this afternoon, then heading back up into the almost 60's for the next few day.

now half of the pond is melted and the other half in less than a centimeter!

Koi need lots of oxygen and open area in the ice for gas exchange .My koi are now over 3 feet long
