Post photos of your Aquatic pond.

Already been "reported" 3 times.. along with a PM to RogerMcAllen.. what more shall I do?

All of you, do a search for his posts and how everytime someone has something to say, he barges in and starts an argument. This is the first time in almost 2 years that I have been utterly rude to someone, and it is only after provocation. Ends justifies the means. Not to mention I am a good...

I figured you would back out ZacDL.. you are soooo quick to talk, but then when it comes to "go time", you back out. Like I have mentioned previously, you are so quick to be judgemental, but so slow to actually prove yourself correct. Thats alright. Roger, I think its a great idea! I am shooting...

ok sounds good to me :-)

I will show you before and after pictures in about a month.. once things get growing well... weather is still cool here

Well then you must be doing them wrong. Because they wouldnt sell it unless it worked.. and believe you me.. it works. I will photograph my results mid-may and show you what I mean. I can guarantee they will outperform yours.

I have no idea Zac, where you get your information from, but as Corvus also wrote, I, along with all of my customers, get EXCELLENT results from fertilizing. You must not be doing them right.

He is sooo right! The barley bales work incredible! But something like Microbelift Barley Pellets work miracles!

It is actually quite the opposite. It works excellent on green water.. but does NOT work on string algae.

Keep in mind, I am in a different zone than you.. it doesn't get anywhere near as hot in PA as it does where you live. Heat helps things grow. I have NEVER ONCE had a complaint with how I run things.. and every year, I get more and more referrals. So call them "fake" if you will, but I am making...

I fertilize my Lillies routinely.. and Also have some certain growing hints that I have to make them outperform most. So yes, I am repotting both my lillies, and my customers lillies, twice a year.

I am not here to argue. I gave my fair input of what I believed was alright. I have installed over 40 ponds, have worked in a lawn and garden center water garden department for 6 years.. and am confident in my advice that I give.. which is why I still have a job after 6 years... I think that...

Lillies, unless dwarf, wouldnt be able to live in a pond that small without being a pain in the rear end.. and as Im sure you have installed ponds before for customers, and realize that the customer goes for appearance, and little on work.. so for them to have to repot the lilles twice a year...

I am not wrong, I am telling you what researchers and market developers tell us (water garden retailers) is prefered by 90 % of the customers. Thus, the "rule of thumb" statement.

This all depends.. Typically.. you only need to circulate the water once an hour.. so theorhetically, a 180 gph pump would suffice. HOWEVER, if you want a waterfall, the rule of thumb is 80-100gph per inch width of waterfall... Take it as you like...

Also, there is a soy-based liner cleaner out there, but it really isnt much better than just water and some good ol' elbow grease.

Water! :-D Oddly enough, water is a better cleaner than would be a harmful chemical. Go to the dollar store, or a local store that carries some scrub brushes. If you have any plants in the pond, adding something like comet or 409 cleaning product would harm the plants, regardless of whether or...

Wet/Dry Shop Vac. Simple. Take the air filter out of the vac, and everytime it gets filled up, there should be a nozzle on the side to drain it down and start all over again.

Excellent question. As Roger stated, you shouldn't need it, HOWEVER, if you ever add algaefix, you WILL need it. See, algaefix reduces the number of oxygen particles in the water, making it harder for the fish to breath, and just as Roger stated, they will start to gasp. Also, if you take that...

Definetly not an aquarium heater.. they will crack, because they are GLASS. Ever see a glass pane heated and then rapidly cooled? SHATTTTTER. You want to purchase a regular pond heater.. .there are many out there. As long as they float, and as long as they are warmer than 32 degrees farenheit...

I would avoid pre-formed ponds, especially if you live in the northern states. They freeze, crack, and tend to bind after a few seasons. You would be better off doing a search on this site to find information on flexible liner and see how much better it is, especially since it is reasonably and...

5000 CDN for all of the landscaping too? Thats incredible! Can't wait to see pictures after it clears up in the spring time!

Well im finally back from training and ready to help! Been a while since a posted... anyways... He's right... a foot deep is wayyy too shallow even for goldfish... AlgaeFix Kills algae really well... but you need to have a pump circulating the water constantly, for it removes good oxygen...
