muffin wrote but you guys totally EMPTY your ponds to remove the gunk???
big ponds
3000 gal ones?? on, where do you put the fish???

Totally emptied our 3000 gallon pond.
Emptied our 150 gallon stock tank filter and put the fish in
there with two air stones. Put net over stock tank to keep them from jumping
out.
DH and football playing son scooped out most of the gunk. About 5 half wheel
barrels full.
Filled the pond back up slowly with dechlor. Fish overnighted in the filter (I
got up at the crack of dawn to check them.) Went back in the pond later that
morning.
If I had to do this myself I'd wait the 20 years for the pond to fill itself in
and then sell the house
