Will I regret not having a skimmer?
"BenignVanilla" wrote in message ... My current plan does not include a skimmer. Do you think I'll regret it? -- BenignVanilla tibetanbeefgarden.com x-no-archive: yes Remove MY SPLEEN to email me. Depends upon your location and possibility of leaves etc getting into the pond. Also whether or not you have the time to physically remove leaves on a daily basis when they get in the pond. I think you only need a bottom drain if the depth is greater than 2ft 6in. At this depth you will be able to 'paddle' in the pond to remove debris and 'vacuum' as required. The depth also depends upon where you live. Most fish, including Koi, are quite happy in 2ft of water providing you give them some kind of shelter and plants to hide in. You only need a greater depth when there is extemes of temperature. Les. |
