Trying not to kill my fish
Hi folks. I just inherited a pond that's less than functional and I
need your help to avoid killing the fish. Here's the story. I've got a decent-sized pond with about 10 koi in it. There are two waterfalls powered by one pump. When I first showed up, the pump and waterfalls were working fine. I just had a guy out who installed one of those filter/UV-light units on one of the waterfall lines and he told me it would clear up the opaque green algae water. Meanwhile, the waterfalls have both stopped, and I realized that the black plastic filter that should have been over the intake was sort of floating around in the pond, unattached to anything useful. So I'm betting I have all sorts of leaves and perhaps some angry fish clogging up the intake line. I can't see a bloody thing since the water is opaque. I was hoping the UV light would fix that, but the line got clogged before that happened. I want to (a) clean out my lines so the pump will work again, (b) cover up the intake so gunk doesn't get in it, and (c) have the UV light clean out the algae. I want to do all this without killing my fish. Any pointers? Thanks a lot for any help. My fish thank you too... (please email copies of your reply) |
