we have a pond here and talk about minerals, if you take your handy dandy
mineral test kit out you'd be very surprised what is in there, its a
constant fight to keep the water just right for our koi. But this has given
me a great idea, I'll try a vertical from the middle of the pond. We are
having it completely rebuilt and it will be much larger...maybe I should lay
some radials under it and out from its sides...
