best time to run pumps?

As far as I can tell, koi-lo, in her rush to respond to every pond [and aquaria - ND] related post... I guess KL's prolific posts do provide some on-topic material for the pond/aquaria groups, and I appreciate her advice about kiddie pool ponds. KL's activities elsewhere under other identities do seem to adversely impinge upon the pond/ aquaria world however, as former poster Elaine warned. Sometimes KL even seems to enter the pond/ aquaria world under her other identities. It's hard to say whether KL has overall "proven herself" on Usenet in a positive way. |

Whereupon, you proceed to prove his point: OP: We would like to cut back on the electric bill. we are thinking we could maybe run the waterfall pumps only a few hours rather than 24/7. What do you think? What time of day would be more beneficial during to have on and running daylight or over night? koi-lo: "As long as you leave something running to keep the water oxygenated the fish should be ok." That's _all_ the answer that's needed. koi-lo: "Also your filter needs fresh incoming water 24/7." What filter? The OP never said anything about having a biofilter. So you start by complaining that she isn't answering the question, now you're upset that she's being too thorough. koi-lo: "But then how many fish are in your pond?" OP forgot to include this information, but really it's not the right question to ask. It is better to ask if they've tested their water. What is she going to do with the answer? Say oh you need to run it 24/7 because you have N+1 fish, if you had N-1 fish, you could run it 12 of the 24 hrs a day? Yes, you certainly could, for any value of N = 3. I'd far rather hear how large the pond is and how many fish are in it, than that they've tested the water. Most times the answer to that is "the water tested OK" - I don't have a clue how reliable your test kit or testing methods are, but I can get a pretty good clue if we're talking about an over- or understocked pond. koi-lo: "If there are a large number you may need to leave both the filter and falls running." No they don't. The original poster said nothing about a bio-filter, only a And if they don't have a filter, and do have a heavily stocked pond, they either need to get one or leave the falls running. Her advice may not be the same as you would give - and often isn't the same as I would give - but it's as valid as any I've seen here. -- derek |

I'll drink to that!
Go away Carol.......go away................ On Thu, 13 Apr 2006 18:02:39 GMT, "Snooze" wrote: "Koi-Lo" wrote in message ... You BADGER me constantly. If you feel my replies to people are inadequate, then simply add your own opinions to the thread. Your constant harassment shows nothing more than your wish to drive me from this NG which I assure you will not happen. It never occurs to you that your understanding of the OP's post or questions may have been different than mine. If I upset you so much you need to use your killfile rather than allow yourself to get to the point you must post something hateful, judgmental, insulting and downright nasty. I respond with clear and insightful comments that justify my position...you on the other hand? Would like to explain to the class how you interpreted the original posters 5 questions in the context of their background information and how your reply was even related to the questions? If only killfiling you would solve the problem. You brought the kooks here by ****ing off people in ARJW not me. The JW don't bother me, I don't bother them. And yes, I do wish you'd leave this newsgroup, because then the kooks and trolls would go away as well. -- \\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder !

Go ahead Daniel, say it, get it off your chest........let it all hang
out.....it will do you more good than holding it all in.. ha ha ha What you really meant to say was : God dam it you son of a bitch Roy......you need to lay off that lady Koi-Lo. She is a major asset to ponds and aquarium types so there is no need to harrass her like yuo and a few others do. We voted and you along wqirth a few others are on the hit list.......All your freaking free time could be better spent on doing things for the needy like Carol does........you really need a life..........just like Carol and Derek has...so get s,mart and wise up or we will have to kill file you.........Since you are such a big dissapointment to me and my fellow ponders, I have no other choice but to bash your sorry ass. Koi lo rocks in more ways than one........she can go all night and thats no joke! Well Danny boy, when you pay my ISP fee you can have a say so in what I do with my free time and how I spend it on the internet. Until then, its none of your freaking business now is it?

You cause trouble like the others and koi-lo has proven herself - she is very welcome here and I freely voice my opinion on this newsgroup since it doesn't hurt as the trouble makers have temporarily destroyed (although it is getting better I think (knock on wood....) it. You won't fool me like the others here who temporarily turned SNIP snip snipity snip Some folks are so easy to convince and lead..I beyt they come with a built in ring in their nose, so carol can simply tie her rope in the ring and lead them around by their nose......Carol knows about as much as a rock does. -- \\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder ! Koi-ahoi mates.... Dang it roy! You have helped me out tremendously yourself too roy (thanks for pointing me to the float switches website - I now have my total of 3 tanks with automated water top offs with backup float switches (let's just hope the relays themselves never stick!) but you shouldn't tailgate K*i-l*! You disappoint me with your constant badgering of her and she HAS PROVEN herself - especially elsewhere. I am so sad to learn you are on the troublemaker's side of things - you have sooooo much potential roy, please don't waste it? Lay off of K*i-l*, ok? Or do you just have too much time on your hands? I am not going to listen to you say that she net stalks you or any of that crap as I can vouch for her character and I refuse to be force fed that net stalker (or whatever) crap - so lay off ok? Good luck ponders and later! -- \\\|/// ( @ @ ) -----------oOOo(_)oOOo--------------- oooO ---------( )----Oooo---------------- \ ( ( ) \_) ) / (_/ The original frugal ponder ! Koi-ahoi mates.... |
