pond cleaning
Frankie,
Depending on the size of the pond you can use a wet dry shop vac, or you can use a pool vacuum as I do shown at http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondpage4.html, or if it is just leaves and other coarse materials, you can run a fine net along the bottom of the pond and scoop them out. If you are scooping out old decaying materials, be careful to move very slowly, as the disturbance will release hydrogen sulfide gas which is toxic to the fish. By going slowly, the concentration can be kept low enough to not harm the fish. Potassium Permanganate will neutralize the hydrogen sulfide and allow you to clean the pond faster. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "frankie" wrote in message ink.net...
