A Pond Grows in Brooklyn

[DrHarryLopez]

Winter has been rough on the pond.
So, Sunday was a beautiful day, and I took an opportunity to work on the pond.

Here you can see the Lilly pots just below the water level. I did not turn on the pumps, nor did I do any type of water change. Definitely NO feeding. A Mag pump on a one foot shelf to start some water ripple to reduce the green (algae) water. Next week I will do some maintenance on the 2- Dolphin Amp Master 3000 pumps. Take out the UV Sterilizer by Emperor Aquatics 25W.

very nice harry

Awesome!

Btw, my friend really wants to get rid of those red ear sliders. She has them set up in a rubbermaid like container... but she's having some "life problems" and would like them out. Any way you'd be willing to take them as is and put them in the pond when it warms up?

 

[DrHarryLopez]

Lets bring em, i'll set em up somewhere

Thanks Mike, the bridge will be redone this summer. Its more than 12 yrs old.

Beautiful day today, I did a 20% water change. The power to the garages, hence the pond is out. So I have to wait to fire up the pumps.

It's great that you have the yard space for this. The first pic looks so serene.

[Staaan]

Nice addition of the marco rock... haha.

Gotta say guys - that is one of the biggest red eared sliders I've ever seen.

[DrHarryLopez]

adult turtles dont eat fish rather plant food and of course turtle food.

 

[DrHarryLopez]

Pond temp is 48 degrees. I hope to fire up the pumps this week. I haven't fed the fish yet either.
