Pumps and filters
Ok, folks, now that I really showed my stupidity to all of you by not know
the gal of water in my pond (it is 3000 not 1000) I need new equipment I think. Should I get one big pump or two smaller ones and one large filter?? Right now the water is clear and the bottom looks really good (I vacuumed it Sat.) I do have a lot of plants, but can't seem to find any water lettuce or hyanthias, we do not have a lot of pond places in Boise. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all. CC |

We have a couple in Spokane (not THAT far away) Blue Iris Water Garden
sells on line they have water lettuce for $3.95 each (I thought kinda expensive) but you could order them on the net. "crclark" wrote in message thlink.net...

CC Boise, as in Idaho? Do you belong to the local koi & pond club in that area? There's where you'll find plants to buy,swap,sell. ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

Tri-Cities is even closer, and our plants are cheaper at Mac's Garden Center. No offense to Spokane as I love both Blue Iris and Koi Gardens, lovely places, expert help, but Mac's Garden Center in Pasco has huge shallow above ground ponds will hundreds of blooming lilies to pick from. Most in the $19.99 range. Also lots of marginals priced $8-$15. Oh, and then there is me, what I divide out of my ponds. Lilies $10-15 and marginals $3-5. ;o) ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
