: Ray, thanks for the feed back. : I have gold fish, shabunkins, comets (and donners and :-) ) and a : couple of common koi. I also have quite a few water lilies which are : blooming nicely, submerged plants,water fall and aerator.
: I also have "PEA SOUP" I really don't want to add chemicals and can't : afford a UV set (at least this year), the pond cost me plenty. : I just think I should be able to see the fish other then feeding time.
Check out rec.ponds. Several people there have websites that describe
how to make an inexpensive, three-part filter (with mechanical, bacterial,
and plant filtration). No chemicals at all. I made one, and my pond stays
clear.
