... I am hoping for about 5 to 6 feet maximum depth. I have found the distributors for Bentonite "clay" in the UK and have asked for an estimated price to clay...
It's also mined here in Texas - I know the owner of a bentonite clay mine and use bentonite in my soil mixes. Some downfalls are, it still leaks some, and if...
Rammed Earth may be a solution tho. I've not heard of it being used and perhaps a test tank would be in order. But it's basically a mixture of sand and clay...
Hi ! I live in South America continent and I'm planning to expand my pond. Here there is no EPMD liners and PVC liners are quite expensive, and there are...
Just a thought. You say there are no EPDM liners. I'm guessing that you have checked with pond suppliers and they may not carry "fish pond liners". ...
I agree with David--- look for "rubber underlayment" for roofing, if they call it something different there. I DO let the water sit for about two weeks, with...
If it's a choice between that or bentonite, I'd opt for the rubber liner. If you're unsure or paranoid, you can scrub and rinse residual chems from a liner,...
many thanks for your suggestion about EPDM. I'll check in local stores. Just a question: isn't there a limitation of pond area while choosing between EPDM and...
I've seen liners sold to be used in waste-dumps that were simply enormous. Also, these were often grafted together. So, with care, it may be possible to join...
Larry, More than happy to take credit for someone else's work! No worries or concerns here! Glad to have you in the group! Deb gmclar69 <gmclar69@...>...

I had a couple of large ( 12" ) Oscars in a 44 gallon tank. They have died over the past few months. Then My Koi died in the 1/2 whiskey barrel. Has anyone...

In the beginning we had 3 koi & a shubumpkin. Something got one of them, just disappeard. A while later I found one on ground. Then all went well for a...
Hi, I'd appreciate any input if anyone has experience stocking a backyard Koi pond in Southern California. We have just finished the construction of our new...
Goldfish fertilize rather than diminish the algae. They nibble a bit on the fuzzy stuff on the sides, but not enough to eliminate it. In fact, you WANT the...
I was worried about putting 4 Koi (4 inches each) into my pond at 900 Gallons (US). You have to remember that well cared for these fish can quadruple in size...
Dear Kellie, I hate to disagree slightly for two reasons. As I remember you have a lot of knowledge regarding Koi & ponds. My two Koi in a half whiskey barrel...
Seems i would disagree with the requirement of the three foot depth for healthy Koi also. I know of two Embassy Suites Hotels out in Seattle, that have...
Could you tell me where the two hotels are located? Address or phone number or area? We will be in the south end of Seattle (Tukwila) friday shopping and...
