Hi Nathan ,thanks for your reply,my fish do have a hiding place plus there is a full pergola over my pond to help with blocking the sun,no other fish is effected but thanks again for your reply

Many thanks for your reply,you have put my mind at rest,and checked him again today and he seems fine,thanks again

I have a 2 canary goldfish in my pond,,I noticed today that one of them is going browny black all along it's belly and it's tail is turning darker plus it's 2 front fins,the top fin is still normal,it is also brownish round the mouth,I have had a water test and that's fine,the other fish are fine,and even the one that's going brown on the underside is swimming about ok,could this just be a natural colour change in the fish,as I heard they can do this or is it some kind of disease,any suggestions would be really helpful,thank you

Hi thanks for your reply,,I can see where you are coming from with the drain pipes,but it would have to be a pretty big drain pipe for em to get in there,plus I would have to find a way to weight em down,,,,,if roof tiles are no good I was thinking of a sheet of black Perspex across some engineering bricks,weighted down with a pond plant,,but just checked out the price of Perspex and it costs a fortune,which seems a bit much just to sink in the pond,

Ok thanks

Ok I think the title says it all,I need ideas for something in my pond for my fish to hide into,I was thinking of a few engineering bricks with couple of roof tiles over the top so the fish can swim under there,but I'm not so sure roof tiles are a good idea as I haven't a clue what goes into them when they are made,would be grateful of any suggestions,,

hi mate..that would be great if you could get the name of it cheers

Many thanks for your excellent reply and my apologies on not getting the name of the filter 100 percent right,I will turn the flow down and see how it goes I also didn't realise that a bio filter takes longer to clear the pond,thanks again for the reply ,big help

Yes just checked it's the Bermuda bio uv pond filter 9000

Hi wandered if anyone could give me any advice on my pond,it's finished now and 4 months old,the trouble I'm having is the water going green,the pond is 8 feet by 4 feet and 2 feet deep,I'm using a Bermuda bio force 9000 gravity filter with built in 11 watt uv light,I didn't put the uv light on until 3 weeks ago to let the good bacteria build up in the filter,but since the uv been on its still not clearing the pond,I have a really good flow rate through my atom 3000 pump,was told to turn the flow down on the pump to let the water run slower through the uv,but this made no difference at all,I since turned it back up,I have even built a full pergola over my pond to give it some shade,the uv bulb is new and I can see it glowing,is it just the time of year when ponds will go green or do I need a bigger uv light,when I put a glass in the water it does look pretty clean but the pond looks murky,I dunno what else to do,,thanks for reading,,
