Newbie Spring Start Up
I just cleaned out my 60 gal. kidney shaped pond.
I have about 6, 3 inch comets and 1, 5 inch speckled koi and 1, 4 inch frog. I put the the fish and frog in a 20 gal tub, with water from the pond from over the winter. Coved it up with mesh. Put a air bubblier hose in. I scrubbed and drained the muck out. I got the black pond liner nice and clean. I put 40 gals. of fresh, new water in, then added almost the rest of the water from the tub back in. I added pond-zime to the dose, in. I added 16oz. of aquarium salt and stress coat to the dose. I cleaned the 1000 gal.ph fishmate box filter out and hooked up to the 90 gal.ph beckett pump. I pulled the plant pot, that's starting to sprout from the bottom and put it on the first level. I netted the fish and frog back in. The water is a little cloudy, but it looks fine. I live in mid PA, so the water is around 52 degrees. No feeding till it gets up around 55-60 at night. So, How do you think I did? This is the 2nd year for the pond. Thank's Waiting to hear from you all. : ) Pete |
