How dark is the water? I use Barley bales and they give my water a brown tint, but the water is still clear to the bottom. Jim Zone 8a - Dallas, Texas Pond, Veggie Filter, Pond Maintenance & Pond Tour Pics: http://community.webshots.com/user/dallas75248 |

I use Barley bales and they give my water a brown tint, but the water is still clear to the bottom. we just used two of the barley straw "pads" in ours, and they are about 10 inches square, woven. Our pond is 12x12 by about 2-3 feet deep. -- Gareee© Homepage: http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine.../mainframe.htm Custom Figures, Wallpapers and more! |

If your pond is an opaque or murky brown, I would think something else caused the problem.

Hey, I'm in the same boat.. did we use too much barley straw, or what? Nahhhh, think it's because the pellets rot so much faster than the straw. Will stick with straw the next time around... |

After a week or so the particulates settled and were filtered out. Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me. "I always wanted to be somebody. I should have been more specific..." |
