Lynn's Goldfish Pond After One Year

I wanted to just update with a picture of my goldfish pond now at nine months old. The water is not nearly as clear, but I still love it. You can still easily see the fish, especially after a good cleansing rain. The water does gently overflow through the rocks that surround my pond and the fish have never escaped during a rain.

I did not use a filter at first -- just a solar pump to run water up and out of a fountain. When the solar pump broke, however, I invested in an electric pump that made the water crystal clear. I also use bags of barley to try and stem the algae bloom in summer.


The water is not so clear with just a solar pump with no filter.

This time of year (beginning of summer) my garden really starts to come out and look like a little jungle. I think the pond will draw in wildlife now, but hopefully not anything any more than this.


The water is much clearer with the electric pump and filter.

Any more updates to the goldfish pond will be on my blog -- goldfish category.
