I'm growing some algae on the walls of the pot, and today I noticed "scum" on the surface. Comments? I can post a photo somewhere if viewing the pot would help with critiques. Thanks. JDS |

Scum on surface not so good, keeps O2 from exchanging with water. Another reason for surface movement. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

Okay... one does have a pump with spitter... because I just can't leave a quiet pool alone I guess. roll eyes But the other 2... DS has all 3 hooked to drip system, when sprinklers come on they overflow a bit every other day. I have used baby goldfish in the past, tadpoles last year... and this year, some of the straight tailed wakins will go in them for skeeter control. Yours looks very cute! I put irises from the koi pond in mine, along with floating islands of water cress & creeping jenny, and a canna I've conditioned to water. Between 2 of them I have a bench seat that sits on the edge of them. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
