Thank you Jim and Joe for the plants. My veggie filter will receive a
tremendous boost from these new additions as will the bio-mech
filters.
I am on my way to Laurel in the morning but will post some pictures
when I return.

Last year because of the proliferation of plants in the four filters,
I turned my UV filter off in Julyfor the remainder of the season and
had clear (very clear or 'crystal' clear) water all season long. This
year I will add some water changes to the equation to see if I can
help the growth of the koi and possibly their spawning. We will see.

Have a great week all! Oh, yes, I counted 13 blooms on my lilies
today! Yea!!

Nice! I need to get into my lily pond and feed mine. I figured I'd do that
when the guys drop the level to install the skimmer.

5pm the 3" bulkhead to the prefilter will be cured and get tested for
leaks, then DS will continue on to the 2nd barrel. ~ jan
