I also noticed the tadpole and thought to myself 'that's a strange looking little guy'. Theo, you're right. Sorry about the confusion. I did label them backwards. I was just excited about the stocking I guess. Jakeb, I had 2 very large bags of FHM (each bag enough to fill a 50 gallon drum), 5 smaller bags of BG and 2 smaller bags of RES. It's been a good day! I started with nothing, and still have most of it.

Hopefully the pond will continue to clear on it's own! You'' be seeing swarms of FH fry in a couple weeks, they love the low visibility! The place looks great! Did the siphon activate from Ike? How close to full-pool?

The water is still 6-7 feet from normal pool. We didn't get as much rain from Ike as I thought we would because the pond only came up 1 foot. I was doing some tinkering around with the siphon using some old parts and a Shop Vac, but I couldn't get that to work. Vacuum cleaners just don't pull enough vacuum. I guess I'm going to have to look on Ebay for a Gast vacuum pump. I know that will work. I started with nothing, and still have most of it.
