You are 100% correct. No electricity but more water. No, i had
surgery and won't be doing the pond thing for a while. I guess i will
just hope for the best. Can you answer me two questions? If i have no
choice and just want to see how it plays out, #1- how often should i
do partial water changes? #2- will an aerator help with ammonia at
all? I could probably lose my fish before i went through the mass
killing of tads that went on last year. If things go my way in the
next few months, i will be able to afford and take on another pond
project and will go for electricity, etc. But not this ponding
season.

Back to being a reg until about october 2004...

Jammer,
Mother Nature doesn't have electricity
either but she does have something you
don't have - more water.
Your gallons just aren't set up for lots and
lots of critters and unfortunately the parent
amphibians haven't a clue about the best conditions for their babies.
That's
why they have so many, they're such poor parents that numbers make up
for their
poor nursery choices.
Anyway you can get a bigger pond(s) out there
before the toads show up?
