Default Pond season !

With the Victoria day long weekend pond season has officially started! I noticed that my waterfall had sprung a leak so that was one of the first things I tackled this weekend. I wasn't too surprised as my waterfall was of a very cheap plastic to begin. Upgraded to a higher quality waterfall:



Waterfall back up and running!





feeding time! Ya, they're really really hungry!









As usual, the marsh marigold is the first thing to bloom every year.



Still have a few things to do, like a water change and clear out some string algae and apply a pond clarifier. I got a #ProTip from Dez to try Hydrogen Peroxide, unfortunately it's virtually impossible to find here in Calgary but I did manage to find a powdered version in the form of Sodium Percarbonate. Going to give that a go and see if that helps clarify the water more.
