    Stock pond suggestions

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to clear the water? I'm thinking it's just soil runoff since it's basically exposed clay around the entire pond Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Stock pond suggestions

    I think I would like to have something edible. I have a current back yard pond I built with some fancy goldfish and kois. But I don't think they would survive well in the wild lol Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Stock pond suggestions

    i've tried filling a bottle with pond water and letting it sit undisturbed but there wasn't much sediment after 3 days. at first i thought it was tannin making the the water but its more cloudy now after the rains which has been making me think it may be the clay. i need to plant something...

    Stock pond suggestions

    The biggest issue is I'm not really sure what to put in the water to get it cleared up from that hazey green cloudy mess. It doesn't seem like algae and there's nothing stirring up the pond aside from runoff from the rain. I think another problem is there is not much vegetation around the edge...

    Stock pond suggestions

    Hello, Not sure if anyone has experience with stock ponds should I thought I'd see. We just recently bought a property with a stock pond on it. It is horse shoe shipped about 100 x 40 ft and approximately 10 ft deep. We don't think there is any fish in it. It's a runoff area with clay base and...

    I think I've finally figured out the ai prime settings. Everything is doing good so far. I think I need to figure out something to clean the sand a bit. I've since gave up on the torch and added a duncan about 2 weeks ago. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Here's a picture of my tank right now. I finally found a half decent setting for my ai prime at 12500 @100% from 10am to 7pm off the rest of the time. Everything is doing good except my acan and my torch coral. The acan I've moved to a shadier area and I moved the torch lower about a week and a...

    it has extended its tentacles but not by much as i just got it a few days ago so i think it is still adjusting. the corals get a blend of pureed mysis shrimp, reef snow, reef roids and a prefeeding of lab polyp booster. i mounted the mushroom in the upper right hand corner of the tank. all of...
