aeration
Okay okay - You guys are tooooooooo funny. THANKS - I'm sure I do need to
tone it down a bit. Prolly part of my 'problem' is all in all things are going great. I am addressing a 'bug' problem, but in general the pond is great. I have 6-10 lily blooms on any given day. Water cannas about to bloom. Other marginals getting bigger. Numbers good. Seems I did so much and was trying to learn so much at first I just have to look for problems. Heck I have to do something to 'justify' the many hours I'm just sitting around watching the fishies and soaking in the beauty. I probably would be in the top ten at least, in a tan contest. Yes, yes life is good. Of course as mentioned, everytime I learn something I come up with 2 more 'problems'. 1-I don't drink, 2-I most definitely don't get up before dawn. According to BV if drinking improves your ability to hear the fish gasping from afar maybe I could just put a tape recorder out by the pond and see if a sugar rush would help my hearing. Baby monitor? Well - maybe not . Ein prosit, ein prosit zur gemutlichkeit! Now you've learned something. I was an Air Force brat in Germany during high school. I DID drink then Bill "Benign Vanilla" wrote in message ... "grubber" wrote in message ... "Ka30P" wrote in message ... The best way to tell if your pond is low on oxygen, the low tech, beer in hand way, is to get up before the sun rises. If your fish are gasping at the surface you need more air in there. If not, they are doing fine. kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A Getting up before the sun rises and grabbing a beer before heading to the pond may be considered uncouth. To avoid this, stay up all night drinking beer, and when the sun rises, go out and check on the fishies. If they are gasping for air, worry about the aeration after you've slept it off. If they ask for a beer, you have had too many beers to make a decision. Try again tomorrow. I guess I have a problem then, because I usually do this check automatically. If the sound of the fish gasping wakes me up, I know two things. 1) the fish need more aeration, 2) i drank too much and passed out next to the pond. BV. |
