Want a Clear Pond????


Hi
I received a package today from pondmarket.com and it contained a tub of crystals to clean the water in my pond. Last week the water was green and I could not even see the 15 fish I had.
I contacted Aaron at Pond Market and he suggested:

I added it to the pond today and WOW!!
The algae on the rocks started to lift off before my eyes. Great stuff!! It works!!

Take care
Gary

Hey there
Sure is safe. I have several water lilies and other plants plus the 15 fish....all are well.
PM me and I will give you Aaron's business e-mail address....he is extremely helpful and can answer any pond related question. I had asked him if I could give it out to the "gang" here and he said that he looks forward to answering any questions any of us may have. You may also get a "better deal" as well
He is the one that suggested the crystals that cleaned my pond.
Talk soon
Take care
Gary

Ya know whats funny? This year I took out all my pond plants cause the pond was filled with leaves and yuck, and I never put them back in, lazy on my part. But the thing is I havent a bit of algae this year, I believe it is due to my willow tree is getting bigger and providing shade for the pond. Thats weirde.

By the way, I mailed you some ornamental grass today, I hope it reaches you before it dries out, I wetted a papertowl really heavily and tied it in a plastic bag. Let me know when you get it. Hope it arrives ok.

How much did it take to treat your pond? Just curious. I saw the different amounts you could purchase. Thanks
Deb
