Newbie here...
Greetings from Ontario Canada folks.
I just bought a 550 gallon pond kit. for my mom's backyard. I went medium sized for her so she can look after it when I move next year. Then I plan putting my plumbing skills to work and building a 1500ish gallon pond at our new house. Anyway I have everything in & working. I'm surprised I got the waterfall feature to look so natural in so little time. I have some minor landscaping to do & I'm just waiting for the muckiness to be removed from the pond, some of the outlining rocks were a little muddy. Anyway I know I can't get too fancy with this pond cause its a kit. (A Beckett Kit if that helps) No UV, skimmer etc, just a pump. I have a few questions. Once the murkiness clears how long after can I put goldfish in. From the various posts I read in here, I assume goldfish are far easier to maintain than Kois. My mom or even me in the future doesn't need to be checking this & that every day if you know what I mean. Do I need to add chemicals weekly to the pond for the fish to survive. I'll be adding plants after the pond goes clear. The pond gets a lot of sun so I take it I need to add algaecides as well. any help is greatly appreciated. I will try to take a pic and link it up later this week. Thanks for the help in advance.. P.S. If anyone needs any plumbing info, don't hesitate to ask. -- The~Doofie~Man © "LET ME SEE YOUR CIGARETTE LIGHTERS!!!!!" Putting the fun back in FUNeral!! http://www.geocities.com/doof70/index.html |
