Re: Payday! - NSF56k
Mmmmmm, lunch.
Get yourself a good pond pump and filter. Clean that right up, of course cleaning the filter itself might prove to be a bit challenging, since you'll have to fetch it.

Re: Payday! - NSF56k
Yeah. Thanks!
I got the pump from the old enclosure and we're trying to reinvent the wheel by figuring some alterations that would make cleaning and refilling a little less "predatory". We'll get there........

Great shots, supper time for you takes a little more concentration than for most.

Re: Payday! - NSF56k
Let me look through our pond stuff and find out what we use. I think its biofalls. The pump I am not sure on the gpm. Our pond isn't as large as yours but it gets dirty from the handfull of koi we have.
In the falls, its a tub, that has 3 or 4 filter pads, then on top of that 3 or 4 bags of lava rock. Which we clean once a month or so. Depending on weather and such. It is a great system and has worked for 5 years with no problems.
Nice pics too.

Re: Payday! - NSF56k
I'll look into that. Thanks.
Another thing I was noticed,in the pictures you can see the difference between a false charge at me (their eyes are open and they don't really come too close or close their mouths - picture 3) and an eating charge and snap, where they close their eyes so as not to get a hoof or a horn or a kick in the eye (pictures 4, 5 and 6).

Re: Payday! - NSF56k
B'gark! Yippers. No additives. No preservatives. No artificial ingredients. No feathers or skin. Just plain chicken.
About 8 pounds of meat a week in the summer and about 8 pounds every other week in the winter. Whatever the cheapest processor, butcher or grocery store meat I can get without additives or preservatives.
