dead pond
Well I started up the pump just to circulate the water, boy does it kick.....I
thought some other dead occupants might float up, but that hasn't been the case, maybe as the water get oxygenated.... Its a comfort to hear the water, but it is a start.....a huge cleanout should do the trick, I plan to try and reuse the water. It was good water once......we'll see.....does ammonia dissipate with oxygenation? I haven't checked the level, but figure it is thru the roof. Maureen. Good to see most other ponds are up and running this spring. |

Maureen,
Check the ammonia before starting to worry about it. The water circulation won't do anything for ammonia. When you do the cleanout, do a 10 to 20% water change. That will dilute the ammonia some, and dilute a lot of other things that are not necessarily good, and the new water will bring in fresh minerals. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "Mosfunland" wrote in message ...
