| I finally got the fish out yesterday The water temperature was 69F so only a 3F difference. I put them in a container beside the pond with some salt in their water and an air stone and over the next 90 minutes did the remove container water add pond water. Once in the pond they quickly explored the edges it's like they remember their summer home. Some of them did pipe a couple of times but only during the first hour. All are fine this morning and begging for food at the edge. So today I get to hook up my second pump from the bottom drain to the second waterfall. I've had the other pump on the skimmerline to the biofilter waterfall with its media running for a couple of weeks and added the media from my fluval XP on the indoor tank to that yesterday. So now all I have to do is do the regular pond thing you know water parameters, water changes algae watch the fish do the happy dance. |
