She thought she was doing a good thing, and fortunately there are no fish yet. The pond was supposed to be up and running last year, but I just now got the tile finished. It's a small formal pond, about 700 gallons, tiled with granite. My daughter used half a bottle of dishwashing soap to clean it. Now it's a great big bubble bath. I've rinsed and rinsed and still have a bubble bath. Will sunlight eventually break down the soap? Mark B. I'm a newbie ponder and still think like an aquarist so this is probably gonna sound weird. But I wonder if you could buy a big bucket of activated carbon (a gallon or so should work on 700 gallons) and filter over that? You can put the carbon in bags made of old pantyhose and put it in your filter where biomedia goes. I would expect activated carbon to pull detergent out of the water very effectively. The main issue, of course, is the cost of that much carbon. -- __ Elaine T __ __' http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |
