Came home from 9 days away to 10 lily blooms. Only 7 shown in this pic.

Nice start Dez, the wife has a question about the plants you have in the pond. Do they just stay on the pond over the winter?

Yes. We have perennials so the plants just come back every year fuller than the year before.

Looks good. Noticed today my fish are starting to get active but I haven't fired up the waterfall yet. Might have to take the plunge and do the peroxide treatment this year.

Did you find a source for the peroxide ? I'm still looking for some and hoping to nuke my pond (of hair algae) this spring.

Peroxide is the greatest thing ever! I caught my fish out and shocked my pond with 8 litres of 30% peroxide and the pond just started bubbling and all the algae and goo floated to the surface. So satisfying.

Don't need the peroxide this year. After 5 years, totally drained and did a complete clean out. Must have got about 50 pounds of algae and sludge out with a 100% water change. Hopefully it's good for another 5 years.

Farmers use it all the time for their dugouts. Try UFA.
