That packed column really seems to work, and worth the effort to anyone using well water.
If you get tired of raising trophy fish i guess you could raise trophy waterfowl, they love chara. (maybe a 10lb. wood duck).


It could get expensive continually apply a "shade product" due to the flow through nature of my pond. I run through about 60,000 gallons of water through the pond in 24 hrs. and the pond is only 100,000 gallons.

Do ducks really like Chara? I've never seen any eat it on my ponds.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
