Forsure Corvuscorax!! If I had it myway, I'd move somewhere WARM where ponding could be done 365 days a year!! I guess for me it's the BEST tention/stress releiver there is!!
No wonder I have 2 ponds in my basement

over winter.
I'm ready for summer...bring it on!!
Thaiboxer, where is this LFS located? I'm up in Blaine so Richfield is about 45min away ,and with traffic...1 1/2 hours
Have you ever been to Marineland down on Chicago? They have a huge selection of fish there.
Did you ever visit Nicolett Pets & Ponds when they were around?( be4 the fire) They had the BEST looking koi & were they HUGE. (Great knowledge too) What a shame, all those animals lost to a fire
As for my new tank...My nitrites are now down from 4ppm to 0.50ppm
I added a heater and things are going much better.
The Danio's seem to be doing great.
Well again...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
