Ahoy! I'm new to the whole 'pond' idea..
But, on a spur of the moment idea, I created a pond..
It's cute and small, perfect for our yard.
Around 100gallons, with a nice filter for up to 200gallons.
Well, that's not the problem, at all.
The pond is green with algae. And, it is very bothersome. Is there anything I can do for this?
There is currently no plants in the pond (I know, I know. I am getting some tonight... Life got in the way of the pond!)
Some cute little lilies.
But, that's not even why I'm here.
I have frogs.
Well, tadpoles.
And, I sat there staring into the pond at these little tadpoles when I saw one of my goldfish eat one..
Well, I knew that would happen, but I panicked!
So.. Now I have a 10gallon aquarium filled with tadpoles..
I sat on the edge of my pond, a little net in hand, fishing out these tadpoles..
Now what do I do?
Thanks for any advice, and I'll gladly take any pond tips.
I am extremely new to the pond thing!
