Okay, my son is headed out to turn one pump on and tom. I'll head to walmart. aLTHOUGH THAT kind of grosses me out. Is it safe for humans?: I go through great length to keep animal fecees(sp) away from the water.
As to the really clear water and fish needing plankton, your right. I need to reconsile in my mind either that I can't have it all. Or perhaps that I am so blessed I can have both, that's what I am believing for currently.
Can you use the septic stuff with new plants?
ANy thoughts on my suction rigging?
