There is a couple of photos ion my website in the 'new pond' album.

We have a formation at the bottom of a small run off that looks like a pond in our sheep paddock. It has a culvert under the drive into the swamp on the other side, it hasn't had water in it for the last year as we havn't had enough rain to keep it full. If I was to line it would I be able to keep goldfish in it or would the run off with the chance of sheep manure be too polluted, and what would the chances of the goldfish escaping into the culvert and into the swamp? I could probably put a mesh grill over the hole. I built a pond at our old house and it was a machine, I started with 4 fish and ended up with heaps and couldn't count them all in the end with my water lillys taking off and oxygen weed and some other ferny thing growing like weeds and snails multipying like rabbits. It was fun going down every couple of days checking out the 'new' pond. Although I would be restricted in the plant I plant as it does run off into a swamp which then turns into a stream, which I have seen fish and fresh water crays in. Cheers Glenn

Thanks for the replys, I tried a search bt the search function is out of action. A total black out means to cover tank completly from light? I have 3 small angels and a paradise fish. Im not totaly sure on the paradise fish, it was given to me by a play group who was getting rid of gold fish and that was in the tank as well. The tank was in an airconditioned room so was fairly warm anyway. Cheers Glenn

I have had my sons tank(aquaone 75l) set up for about 2 months now, and keep getting a green slimy growth all through it. It is over the plants, glass and gravel. It comes off like a skin. How do I get rid of it without pulling the tank apart and what is it caused by. Cheers Glenn
