Whilst gator watching yesterday I noticed a strong sulfur smell emanating from the out flow of my drain pipe. Upon further investigation found a dark, frothy black water coming form the pipe.
I suppose this is the decomposing plant growth that was flooded when my pond refilled? The top of the pond is clear...amazing difference between the surface and bottom. NASTY!
The siphon system seems to be working beautifully.

Smelly stuff is usually caused by anaerobic organisms. Is the water coming from near the bottom of the pond?
My turtles are getting out of hand. I may start looking for an alligator.

bobad, A good 22 is the best turtle removal system that I have found.  Yes, the black gunk is coming from near the bottom.

Scared of ricochets, so I use a Gamo .177. It packs a wallop, and sometimes I hear the pellet spinning off into the wild blue yonder. TIP: Never try to shoot turtles from a floating dock. It's a good waste of lead.
