Plant-master Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Started this small 12 Gal pond in may and it’s doing great! Lots of platys and lots of new fry. Also with the fun solar powered pump with a sponge filter. The water hyacinth in there has grow a lot and is making more. Hope it flowers.

They are a color I want to have one day when I don't have 6500 blue and silver ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyBurrito Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Can you clarify, is the sponge filter connected to the solar powered fountain or is it being run off of a separate air pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc24 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 It’s a lovely pond. How long is pond season where you are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
