    Yes, I added an aerator with (2) bubblers and my pond is amazing plus it does not freeze in the winter. The water quality is fantastic and I love the motion it adds to the water!

    Thank you for all your videos. I live in Florida. I have a pond in my back yard but it hasn't been taken care of very well. I've gotten all the things you've mentioned for my pond so I'm now more confident about my pond. I will continue to clean it up and hope to have results like yours in a year or so.

      I'm glad they have been helpful! What size of pond do you have? Keeping one clean and looking good is a long process. Don't expect changes overnight. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with!

      @@IndyFarmLife it's a half acre I think, but I have a large surface area growth in the middle of it. Once that is clear I'm sure we are good to go.

      Ahh nice. Yea, I would think so. If you have fish in your pond, just be careful when you start up your aerator. 30min the first day and then keep doubling each day until you get to 24hrs on.

    I’m no elechicken, but you’re drawing more current on the cords that what would typically be used. So if you hard lined it l, you could get your costs down, your pump would run better (stronger) and you don’t burn up nice cords.

      Yes, you are definitely right. I just don't have power out there yet. It's part of the grand plan, though.

    This is a beautiful pond you've got. Great maintenance. How are the mosquitoes or have you been able to eliminate that annoyance as well?

      Thank you! A lot of work but worth it! The pond hasn't seemed to increase them at all. I think having air to turn the water helps. Plus we have a lot of fish that pick them off.

    barley bales work better than the electric for your pump. Have a great day.

    • @IndyFarmLife
      @IndyFarmLife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possibly for algae, but barley bales won't add oxygen, mix the water, and prevent turnover/fish kills in the fall/winter.

    My duck pond has aeration. Compressor salvaged from a medical oxygen concentrator. That plug in watt meter is handy for sure. Must b e getting colder there, you lost the Florida look!

      There is a link to it in the video description but also below. It has worked very well for me. Just need to be methodical with it.
