I still have a very small (40 gph) pump running in a 3 gallon rubbermaid
tub surface mounted with a slit open side and the pump shooting straight down out the bottom with quilt batting over it. About 2 inches from the surface I have a 250 watt outdoor spotlight aimed right at the water. In additon to that I have two bubblers in the shallow area of the pond (18" deep) The filter seems to be working quite well even in the cold with the lamp, I see various living, active, insect larvae on a regular basis and the water is very clear. There are pictures taken in January on my website if you want to see them. http://www.boundary-ca.net/pond/index.html Have a Great Day!

The ice in frozen areas looks about 3" thick. It is currently -20 celsius this morning outside You can see pictures at my website (nothing for sale) http://www.boundary-ca.net/pond/index.html ~ jan JJsPond.us wrote: What is the current status of your pond? The screens have 4" of snow on them, but with my wireless thermometer I can see that the water is liquid, I can also "hear" the water moving... but that requires going "outside".... like brrrrr! I haven't even gone up and looked at the lily pond, maybe I'll do that today. I'm hoping the fact I floated milk jugs on it that they are holding the shade cloth off the surface of the water. ~ jan See my ponds thru the seasons and/or my filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Defrosted~ Tri-Cities, WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website Do you still have your pump/fileter running? |
