Now may be a good time to pick up a timer to run your pumps, fountains and lights that you have around your pond and yard. There are lots of timers being sold to run holiday lights. Just make sure it is an exterior timer and can be adjusted for either day or night. I have two timers that have a sensor and turns on my pond lights at dark and off at daylight. That is cool because I don't have to keep resetting them as the sun sets earlier every day. In the summer I have fountains that don't need to run all night so put timers on them.
