Unfortunate sequence of events :-(
Are you an Idiot???????????
you suppose to kill the Koi before you dump in the bleach those rec.gardeners are going to say us ponder are dumb. since I am the moderator, I must ask for you to resign. Infact I insist. Koi4Me.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED. Do not feed the trolls. ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o Glenn S. wrote: This weekend, we lost all the koi in our front pond due to a couple of badly timed events. On Friday, we lost water to the house (private well). We pulled the pump, fixed the problem, and re-sunk the pump Saturday a.m. Since this was a major disturbance to the well, we dumped a gallon of bleach into the well. On Sunday, we ran the pump for a couple hours to clear out chlorine. On Monday evening, we had a decent rainstorm that popped the circuits on the GFI breaker to the pond. Unbeknownst to me, this caused a reverse siphon of water from the upper pond (100 gallons), through the UV, to the lower pond (220 gallons). The lower pond overflowed and when I noticed it, the upper pond was about 2 inches shy of being full. As is normal for me, I grabbed the house and filled the ponds. This a.m. (Tuesday) when we left for work, all the fish (7 smallish koi) were dead. I guess I didn't get the chlorine out after all and after 48 hours it hadn't dissipated on its own. :-( |
