Pond Chat / the HEAT

« on: June 27, 2009, 09:05:44 AM »

the heat here is horrible,i am an outside gal and i haven't been able to withstand this heatwave....my pond looks horrible because i can't get out there to change filter media...even when i do the heat grows the algae quick...i am purchasing 2 new stronger pumps in a week or so that will help. i broke down the waterfall altogether because i'm sick of fighting the green...i was thinking of putting on the side a large pot with water flowing out of it.will be easier to deal with...the temp has been in the high 90's for 2 weeks with no rain so the heat index has been 105 and the humidity is gross.my garden is just about ruined.i water every evening but by 2:00 they are drooping...  anyhoo the fish are fine and growing and eating like pigs so thats all i care about right now....i guess i just had to vent...thanks for listening troops....  lorraine
