Being in SoCal, I usually have abundant Water Hyacinths and Water Lettuces
at this time. However, this year, all my WL are dead. I only have a few
tiny WH left. I went to a few water plant stores to restock. They had
none.

Again, i just wanted to thank everyone for their great advice. I am
hoping to finish my pond this weekend and fill it up! I had aquariums
as a kid for a long time, so I am expecting some of the initial
goldfish may not make it, but this will be my first water home with
city water. I have been told letting it sit for a few days will take
care of the city crap in the water.

After that, I would need to throw various plants in it, I have a
biofalls as a filter but I am planning on growing plants in the pond
as the main anti-green-water method along with providing additional
filtration. There are sooo many out there, I was wondering if those
of you who have used them can help me find some good ones? I have
also been reading alot of people splitting them, if someone has plants
that they are splitting and (if they would survive shipping to
Atlanta, GA) would like to send them to me I can paypal money for
shipping etc.

Thanks!
Josh
