Pond Log for November 2009

Koi Pond Log for November 2009

Nov. 1, 2009 - Added three cap fulls of Aqua One.

Nov. 4, 2009 - New tight weave pond net arrived today. (Clearly Better Pond Net) Put the new cover over the black netting.

Nov. 5, 2009 - Added 4oz of Arctic Blend cold water bacteria.

Nov. 8, 2009 - Removed old 3-barrel filtration system. See photo below.

This system is now being used at Havana High School in the Ag. Department. They are raising fish in a 400 gallon tank, and the above system is their main water filter.

Nov. 13, 2009 - Installed new filter system that I built in the garage out of two 55 gallon barrels. Click Here to see the build of the new system. (Special thanks to Phil and Jon Foster for helping me lift the new filter system into place!) Put PL tar on both of the bottom drain connections, and will cross my fingers that come spring, they don't leak. (They DIDN'T!!!)

Nov. 22, 2009 - Pumped out water after another week with 4" of rain. Added 4oz of Arctic Blend cold water bacteria.
