Haha no Matt i'm living in the UK, but thanks for your advice all the same. I' ve had a look on ebay this morning for a solar panel UV but with no luck. I just don't really want to have to connect it to the mains as it will mean drilling holes through the house. Hopefully there will be some...

Hi some very good advice there...thank you all for your input! Do any of you know if they do solar panel UV's? If so it may be worth me trying one of those. Also i have another question...as my pump only does 150L per hour approx, could i put two in at either end? Many thanks

Sorry i just re-read your post and realised you have answered that with the water changes! Apologies! May i ask if you know how long it takes to get clear water? Many thanks x

Hi jlk, thank you for your reply. :) I purchased a cheap block of foam and covered this with artificial flower heads which now looks beautiful (IMO hehe) and it does offer a lot of shade in the small pond they are currently housed in. It provides enough shade for them and i do find they are...

Hi all... I have a 55L pond with 8 goldfish in, a fountain with a built in filter that does approx 170L per hour, several artifical plants and floating lillies. I have bought a larger pond that is 750L but am in the process of digging this in the ground (I regrettably bought the 55L pond not...

Hi fort, thanks for reply. I pumped some of the water into a bucket today to see what i am actually dealing with. it appears the water was very green, which i took a photo of (i can upload this if it will help). I then pumped most of the water out whilst the fish were still in and then refilled...

Hi fort, should i still be doing water changes every 3 days (approx)? Or just let the cloudiness die down first? Many thanks..you've been very helpful! :-)

Hi everyone! I have a 55L pond with 8 goldfish in, which after i bought this realised it is not large enough, so i went out a week later and bought a 750L pond, which is approx 160 gallons i believe. I am waiting for this to be dug in the ground so am still using my 55L at present. My goldfish...

Thanks fort, it's arrived today in the post so will set it up (when i figure how to lol) and go from there. Yesterday i went out to the pond and all the water had gone cloudy, do you know how to combat that? Many thanks

Hi Fort, would this be sufficient? 1.5w 3m Solar Panel Power Submersible Fountain Pond Water Pump -Free Filter Set | eBay ...That's the one i've purchased and am waiting for it to arrive. If however it is not suitable, i have seen more expensive versions i may need to invest in. Many thanks

Hi fort384, thank you for your reply again. What do you mean by filter box? Is that just a standard filter? Many thanks.

Hi Slightlylooney, thank you for your reply and for the information given. I am changing my water frequently as was afraid of ammonia poisoning due to the build up of waste - is this not as apparent as i first thought? Many thanks. :)

Hi fort384, thank you for your reply and the information given. :) Sorry to bother you, but do you know if my pump that does 150L per hour be sufficient for my 750L pond? I bought this as only want a solar panel one so i do not have to use electric. There is however some solar panel pumps that i...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I entered Aquarium forum into my browser this evening in hope of finding somewhere where i can receive good advice on fish keeping. I am a complete newbie when it comes to fish keeping but i want to learn as much as I can. I recently bought a 55L pond...
