Thanks- The pond has been a lot of fun and a fair amount of work. I've had PH issues, low oxygen issues, and was infested with carp at one point. Now I have the neighborhood kids over all of the time and that has it's issues and concerns as well. Overall, it has been fun, and for some reason I enjoy it all. I will look into purchasing a new pump and of course you are welcome to stop by at sunset or otherwise:) Oh yea... good idea on the fuse as it will likely be a problem again!
