Sandy, I just saw this thread. Have you ever tried Provigil? Have you had a sleep study? Alot of us with FMS have alpha wave intrusion. That means that when we start to go into a deeper sleep, we automatically wake ourselves up. There is a med out for it. I think its called Xyrem, but I'm not sure how good it works. But I would definitely get a good sleep study first. I have been using a cpap machine for a little over 2 years and am doing...

I felt the same way but with decaying debris I think the bad water quality through out the winter months would be way worse than the stress of the moment so I chose to take mine out.

thanks Mike for the tips! I was already planning on buying the QuickSeam kit that Firestone sells and use the stuff in it even though I had no idea if all of it was necessary. I had no idea that the primer was that important! But, I figured as long as I'm going to be spending over $300 on the liner alone not to mention the new bigger filter, pumps, etc, etc that I just better do everything correctly. When I'm spending that kind of...

Did you check for signs of rot when you brought it in? If the water smells you might need to check it again. In any case keep us informed. Sandy

We have many different species of frogs but I have never seen a toad around here. It would be nice to see some. They are great 'buggers'

Published (2009-11-12 03:33:00)
The hyacinth bloomed from October to November in Zone 5 in my settling pond this year. The only thing I can figure is that the overcrowding of the WC triggered the blooms. Usually we get a light dusting of snow on October 3 or 4th and a slight warming with freezing temps in November. This year the first dusting was a month late on November 3. As a ponder who is well aware of the weather I think something different is going on. Cool summers and...

Horton, The co-worker didn't know if it was plugged into a GFCI receptacle. I talked to an electrician about this and his opinion was that if the light was just leaking (this is my word, not his - he probably used a more technical word) electricity, and had not shorted out, a GFCI might not have helped. That may be why the co-worker just got a shock and not killed from it. I don't know. I just know all those babies (now grown up) are...

Hi Catherine. We live on zone 7. In the late fall after we rake our leaves into big leaf bags we save several bags...we then cut down the leaves in the pots. We cover the pots with a couple of the leaf filled bags. This insulates them and keeps them warm all winter. Our lotus are in soil and water and remain like that all winter. We have been doing this for several years

Poor Mickey! Poor you!!!! :-( He just developed the collapsing trachea? That's kinda unusual if it just happened. Maybe he has laryngeal paralysis which can in some ways mimic the tracheal condition. An ultrasound might help pinpoint the exact area involved. Surgery can be done for the laryngeal paralysis and sometimes for the tracheal collapse, depending where it happens. Lots of times...

I have read that when you put any live plants in your pond you should treat them with a bleach water dip to kill unwanted bacteria and and any snails that may be attatched. I cannot remember the ratio of bleach to water. They also must be put in a rinse bath after.

My pond is 5x5and1/2' and 24" deep. I use a pond deicer during the winter. It pretty much keeps most of the snow melted. Its not covered. I don't have fish. Lots of people here have mentioned keeping a bubbler going during winter, so I would use both if I were you. Last year I only used a deicer when it was really cold, and would turn it off and run the pump when it was above freezing...

Yes, we did it. We built on addition to our existing pond 9 years ago. However, it is on the same plane. We wanted a common pond so that the fish could have more swimming room. Koi love to swim. The beauty of the way we did it, is that the fish could stay in the pond during construction (it does take several days, as the silicone needs a curing time, before filling with water.)... and if the ...

I have never used a magnetic water clarifier so can't speak from experience, but I do have an opinion. I am always skeptical of ideas that cannot be logically explained. The magnet deal relies on faith, not logic. If you base a lot of decisions on faith you might give it a try. I base my decisions on logic, so I won't. it just doesn't make sense to me.

The black water is probably tannins from the leaves decaying. What I would suggest is a professional pond cleaning (unless it's something you can do). When I clean a pond I put the fish in 20gal. tubs with battery powered aeration and a net over the top to keep them from jumping out. There will be a lot of 'gunk' at the bottom of the pond. Pumping the water out and removing the gunk will ...
