Hey okay well i live in a condo and i was
wondering how will i fill my
pond up with water
since there is well i think there is not a hose ...
do i use buckets to get water
touchofsky
Wouldn't your condo have an outdoor faucet for maintenance around the property?

You could always get a python. How big is your pond? I had an above the ground pond that was 60 gallons and I hooked my python up to a faucet inside the house. Then I figured out I could also hook it up to a faucet outside (only took me a year to figure that one out Thud.gif )

I use a garden hose to fill up the ponds. I don't have an outside faucet so I run it from the basement.

have a base ment

When I think about my habbit of finding new spots for more tanks, its probably a blessing that I dont have a basement either. It would most likely be full of ponds and tanks by now! rofl3.gif

There was an ad in the paper the other day for a stand with 5 twenty gallon tanks, plus heater and lights. Boy, was I tempted. I could just see that down the basement biggrin.gif

I already have 7 tanks, which seem to be almost a full time job rofl3.gif , so I decided I needed to leave SOME, even just a little, time for work.
Ranchugirl
5 20 gl tanks, and they are not in your house yet? Wow, you are strong! I am not sure I could pass that one up! I can imagine you have the phone # stacked away some place, in case you get weak.... biggrin.gif

You know, if I were single and didn't have "some explaining to do" rofl3.gif , they would probably be in the basement. Don't get me wrong, though, I have a very tolerant husband!!!!!
Black oranda
biggrin.gif Meh.... if my mom wouldn't control me and say i
have to many Aquariums allready i would have some in every room
even more
