Still in excellent quality,yeeehaa!

It's been 3 months now and my pond water quality is still in tip top condition. What i noticed is that algea/lumut that covered the wall has become a major contribution towards the water...and also my koi (they really love it!). Now, I can enjoy watching them swimming happily.

Why My pond water quality suddenly become crystal clear?

I noticed the changing in water quality yesterday. It became crystal clear, i can see the fish playing 2 1/2 feet down below. I changed the water few days back and i didn't scrubbed any algae around the pond.

Wonder why?

I've been busy and does not have time to post, but I always login to my blog. I would like to know in what area most of you are searching for in this blog. Would love to know, maybe I can share with you.

HOW TO BUILD A POND

Hi Guys

i decided to share on basis, on how to build a pond.

For those who wants to build their own pond, the common thing that we all know,want is try reducing the cost.

Let's get started :

1. decide where to build the pond. when you have a place in mind, visualize what kind of pond do you want.
2. do some homework on how to do the labour work such as concrete, plaster, piping etc. I'm not going to go deep on this.
3. There are several tools you need to have such as grinder, concrete/mortar tools etc.buy from time to time, i spend around 2-3 hundreds on tools.( become handy for other projects)
4. Once you got the general idea, draw an outline of your pond on what to do, what needed etc.

I,ll go phase by phase, together with the tools and things needed.

5. start digging. it's better to dig bigger than actual size because you can have a space to work.(you never know what buried under it, mainhole,piping,hard rock etc).
6. After you got the space, the first thing to do is to make a base and wall(don't make it high at first. Please refer my post.

My Koi jump off the Pond

Hi Guys

Has this incident happened to anyone of you guys? it happened few months back. So I realized I might share with you.
I read lots of articles and ebook on how to keep minimum water surface fro the edge of the pond..at least 6 inches. Mine is more than 12 inches BUT she still can jump off the pond. I think this is a rare case. Luckily, at that time I still awake, heard a knocking sound, 5 minutes later I came out, and saw her bleeding,with her mouth searching for someone to give her CPR.huhuhuhu!

For those who wish to build one, this factor matters.
