Sorry, no, you can't change a posting date after posting - only the News
Server Administrator could possibly do that, and it's unlikely he would
bother with a trivial detail.
Come July 29th, it won't be a problem - till then this post thread will
remain "top of the list" (immortality of a sort). Do hope it doesn't set a
trend.

Thanks all for your advice, and sorry for the wrong date on my original
post--I was checking dates for a trip I'm taking this summer on my
computer's calendar and forget to change it back...if anyone knows if I
can fix this after the fact let me know.

The "vacs" that work with water pressure, either hose or pump, are a
waste of time and money. They're cumbersome, messy and the vacuuming
takes FOREVER.
When I can afford it, I may invest in an electric water vacuum cleaner.
Mean-time I use a large extending triangular fish net with fine mesh
which does the job far more efficiently than the hose vac. However, it
does cause wear on the netting (scraping the bottom). Cost-effective
PROVIDED you can get one at the "right" price - Lidl (UK store similar to
Walmart) had them a while back at about £3 (versus £20 in the fish
store) - and so far it's lasted 2 years and counting.
The hose water vac cost me about £28 and is a total waste of dosh,
especially as the neoprene O rings perished after 18 months. They are
also expensive to replace (if you can source them).
My pond is similar to yours ...I've about 800 gallons (Imperial, not US
gallons).

I've been leafing through my Drs Foste and Smith water gardens supply
catalog, and I see a couple things like a pond leaf eater and pond mini
vac that work by attaching to a garden hose...has anyone tried these and
do they work? I've got about a 1,000 gallon pond and I need to get
some leaves off the bottom...
