I know water testing, I just have to look up what the parameters and
what to test for. I'm assuming Chlorine, Ph, CAL/Hardness.

Absolutely gorgeous! Sorry you lost it, are you planning on trying again?

I have all the equipment and the rock is sitting in a water filled trash
can. I'm in the process of
looking for a new home or a new lot to build on. Then I will put the
rock in a couple of crab traps
and let sit in the Gulf for a few months to get the bacteria back and
what ever hitchhikers that will
attach. I won't be able to get back on the island (Pensacola Beach,
Santa Rosa Island), the lots and
home prices went through the roof after Ivan, and I sold my stake in the
homestead deal I had on my
previous house below (i was in that house for 15 years). I'll have to
settle on the peninsula Gulf Breeze,
and even there the prices are still out of hand at this time. I'm just
being patient and camping in a relatives
house, Arrrrggghhh :-)

It was hard to walk out the door the last time knowing I might never see
my little fellers again,
3 years of hard work and loving care.....

Regarding Pool, this is my suggestion: http://www.kilk.com/pond/ ~ jan

LOLOL I agree that is really really neat!!!! All that flora and fauna in
the back yard is just too dang cool!!
What part of the country are you in? I'd sure like to do a pond also
when I get resettled. I love all of this type
a thing. I saw a reef made out of a small pool but the accumulated heat
got to the guy's project.
