Yep. It's taken me throwing out their tetra fish sticks to make the point a few times.

Rainwater question. I am planning on doing rainwater catchment. Should I expect algae blooms after each rain or will a little extra bacteria solve the issue?
@ColumbiaWaterGardens Жыл бұрын
Add bacteria before the rain, and you'll be ahead of the curve.

Great video. I get a lot of diatoms in my pond which makes the rocks inside the pond go brown. How can I get rid of diatoms? I know diatoms are good but they look unsightly.
@ColumbiaWaterGardens4 жыл бұрын
Peroxide kills diatoms. we sell on columbia water gardens .com ecoblast. it is a dry peroxide and it will kill diatoms.

Hi im getting a slimmy brown thing in the bottom and side of my pond. The water is not green. Wanted to know if this is an algae and what should be done to remove it.

That's either beneficial bacteria or diatoms. Either way, it's good.

If you throw some lime or fertilizer in that pond it will clear up the water and slug on top of the water. I the old days everyone had cows and they peeing and pooed in the pond and it fertilized the pond but now days most people don't have cows or horses.

OR you could just use 1 cup of HARD-WOOD-ASH spread of 1500 sq ft surface, it will take care of most algae.

Excellent point!!! We have used wood ash for years, and have found that oak seems to do well. It's uncommon, so I omitted it from the video. Thanks for pointing that out. Not many people know of its uses. I found this article online for other readers that may see this thread. :) You are awesome! :) -Carl lifeonpigrow.blogspot.com/2017/02/uses-for-wood-ash.html?m=1

I have a lot of wood ash from tropical wood. Is it safe for fish?
@ashscott60683 жыл бұрын
@@annetnedelec1313 Probably not. A lot of tropical woods are poisonous. Whether the poison survives burning, depends on what the poison is.
