OMG I can see the bottom
It is now almost winter and my pond finally decides to clear. You all
remember me complaining all season about my pond looking like the Potomac River, well it is now clear.What created this awesome change in the water clarity, chemicals no, UV no, was it weather, no! I added more Water Hycianth to the pond last week ( I got a great deal local for end of season) and it cleared in one day. I am now sold on Veggie filters. I am so happy. I even see some babies I didn't know I had. Joann |

Hey! The Potomac Rivers near me (North and South Branches) are usually
clear. Only when there has been torrential rain do they get murky. "FBCS" wrote in message ... It is now almost winter and my pond finally decides to clear.

water temp has dropped so less algae, water will clear.

Joann actually if your weather is cool/cold now that will do it. next season leave it alone from the begining, add more floating plants and it will clear faster. -- http://www.kencofish.com Ken Arnold, 401-781-9642 cell 401-225-0556 Importer/Exporter of Goldfish,Koi,rare Predators Shipping to legal states/countries only!

When it is too cold yet for water hyacinths, in the spring, try buying watercress at the supermarket. I tied bunches of it in a basket at the edge of my filter and felt soooooo ahead of the game until the mice ate it all. k30a |

Check out the water going over the Woodrow Wilson bridge, people are even
afraid to fish there. I have seen the South branch that runs through Smokehole WVA it is beautiful and clear. My husband loves it there. Joann "pixi" wrote in message ... Hey!

I really believe it was the plants, the roots are loaded with gunk. Joann

Plants are on the agenda.

I also believe it was the plants. While the cold temperatures certainly
help I have seen Water Hyacinths clean up a pond in one day in the middle of summer. The first time I saw a truly crystal clear pond it was in the front of a store and when I asked what they did for filtering and such they said "nothing". The upper part of their pond garden (2 layers) was filled with water hyacinths. I could not figure out why mine were not flourishing as these were and after trying various things found it was the fish eating the roots (filter mechanism) away. That is when I started an upper pond with only plants and a few rosie reds for mosquito control. It works better than anything I have ever seen. DKat "FBCS" wrote in message ...

Joann, I apologize in advance!
However, at the time I'm reading this post (5:49 pm EDT), these are the two consecutive headers for posts: Nude Neighbor Tanning OMG I can see the bottom !!! Again, I apologize, as your post obviously deserves serious comment...... but you clearly aren't going to get it from me, sigh...... Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC |

... [about clearing the water in a pond] I also believe it was the plants. While the cold temperatures certainly help I have seen Water Hyacinths clean up a pond in one day in the middle of summer. Aha! I now realize that I need to net my teeny water garden next year -- not to keep the herons out, but to keep the Water Hyacinths IN!! (They may be wonderful additions to a water garden, but they are even better as dog toys, according to some local culprits.) I already have the netting -- I just have to figure out how to make the "froggy doors" in it. (Maybe if I take out the pot with the Parrotfeather, the frog will follow?) Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC |

FBCS,
I was wondering about "water going over the WW bridge" as well. :O) What exactly do you mean?
