I keep my pump running 12 months a year, even when iced over.
And Chief- you've been saying you want a pond for years. Now's the time!!!!

Actually when the linear ripped in our old pool I rescued like 30 lily and grew them in the huge pool for 1 year till they got large and the water after a year was 4 foot deep in the deep in and I threw some fish in,and transported.I am very educated in aquaculture and almost landed a job where they wanted to
have a 2 year degree or pursuing the degree.One of 2 of the head guys owned the Koi farm in Port Allen and I don't think he really wanted me to know how he was breeding hes koi,and the lady told me they do some koi breeding in 4'x10' ponds and 6 foot deep.I don't know why people get they get upset for someone very energetic,and absorbs as much knowledge as possible.
Thanks Brian
