I did find a place but it took some time and they are willing to allow me to have as much as I want. The reason behind caging them up is to prevent the residents and their children from removing them from the pond. This particular pond has given me some trouble lately. I usually use cal-hypo (around 2lbs bi-weekly)to lighten it up when it becomes very dark green. I balance the sky rocking pH continuously with muratic acid and keep it between 7.2 - 7.6. Footage-wise this same pond is about 40' X 60' and around 16" - 18" in depth. What in the world makes the pH in these ponds go up anyhow? The reason that I say that I have been having trouble with this particular pond is because it is the only one that has not lighted up? After I pulled out the dead water hyacinths I pour 3lbs of cal-hypo into it and still no lighter shade, I'm boggled. I'll try and get the temp out of it tomorrow when I return to work. Thanks again.
