You get another hobby, like japanese rock gardens.

Ok, what do you do when you can't do what you want to do with your pond
and filters and all when you want to do it?
First you stroll around the pond rethinking what you are planning to do
and wondering why you did not think of that the first time. Then, just
so you feel like you have done something constructive, look for the most
crowded pot(s) of plants, take them out, split them, repot them, put one
(or one of each) back in your pond and give the other to your neighbor
who has a pond! Then you can walk around your pond a bit more looking
at your latest handiwork and feeling better about the other stuff.
Try it! Works good for me! Anyone else have a 'water garden therapy'
they do?
