Based on the religious here, I will probably try BZT (and koi clay too)
this spring.
Having fallen in both my ponds this year, I know what the bottoms are like.
Mine don't need vacuuming yet. But a good jacuzzi heater would be a
winner.

Don't have either a skimmer or a bottom drain,
Fringe. I do use BZT faithfully and will vacuum
the bottom this spring

My current plan does not include a skimmer. Do you think I'll regret it?
I'm in the minority apparently. I don't have a skimmer. You can see my
pond pics at http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/kc/MyPond.html
If you could put one in easily, do it. But if you can't, it's not going
to
destroy the pond.
And no, I don't have a bottom drain either.
