Pond Netted for 2021

This year I got the pond netted before the leaves take swimming as a hobby.

Sunday, February 28, 2021: Lake Trent has been uncovered for the season.

 Lake Trent has been uncovered for the season. Lots of work to do. Leaving the heater in for a couple more weeks. It doesn't turn on unless the water temperature is 30 degrees or less. Fish seems to have survive the winter.

 Im building a Mk2 Media Upflow Tower Filter for 2021, let's hope it fixes the "green water" issue.

Pond closed for 2020

 The pond has been closed for the 2020 season.

Life support pumps are still running, the waterfall has been turned off, the pond has been netted and the heater has been installed for the winter.

It was a horrible year for algae, no matter what I used, I could not control it. Have not seen the fish since July. Everything was fine until one morning I came out to feed the fish and the water was thick green.
