Hi Joan - 8 GF in a 1800 gal pond....

Hehee.. .enjoy that while you can, and plan for more fish!

We started with 5 walmart 25 cent goldfish 3 years ago.. now we easily have
over 50 goldfish, and some are BIG. If you are building filters or such,
plan for 3 years from now, not today, because you;'ll end up having to
rebuild the damned thing again as the load increases.

Gareee...on his third larger filter in the same pond after 3 years...

AAAAKKK!! Sure wish I could just put birth control pills in the
water.

Oh! Good! Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. The idea of easy
cleaning is getting more and more attractive to me.

Walmart carries this large dark green screening.. it's $3 a sheet, and is
reusable and durable. You can also cut it with a heavy scissors.

It comes in a large plastic bag, and walmart stocks a cardboard case of
them.. you just take as many as you need.

They are about 2 ft by 3 foot.

Just bought 3 more a few hours ago to increase my filter efficiency

What is this dark green screening normally used for? I may have to check
into this myself. ~ jan

If it's the stuff I'm thinking of, it's used for shading plants. Comes
in rolls at Home Depot, etc.

I'll have to remember to go look for it. May use this in the lily pond
filter and see how well it performs. Tx, ~ jan
