May 7, 2011 - Did about a 10 - 15% water change today. Pumped the water directly out of the skimmer utilizing the pond's pump and the water came from the bottom of my two 55 gallons filter barrels. Added 8oz of Microbe Lift PL, 2oz of Liquid Barley + Peat, 50ml of KoiZyme, and 8oz of Ultimate. The maple helicopters started their invasion of the pond today, so keeping the water clear and clean was difficult at best. Rinsed off the skimmer filter media around 8:00.

May 15, 2011 - Rinsed off the skimmer filter media. It was so windy today that it blew my cat-tails off the shelf and to the bottom of the pond. I used my "rig" so that they would stay put, I hope. Rained all day today. Pumped out about an inch of water out of the pond.
