Oh Mary - thanks so much - and you're exactly right - I'll spend it if it will help the algae control, but it's way too much money, and effort, to find out it wouldn't work - Loved your comment about two nightlights! I had not seen that precise a guideline, and simply assumed. I'm getting to work on it tomorrow then - can hardly wait! And I appreciate your comments about the garden as a whole - it has become a VERY special place for me, and also is becoming home for a wide variety of wildlife. I truly know what meditation is now since sometimes I just stop on the bridge in the middle, and just take it all in for about 10 minutes. I'll be sending pics and will most likely be asking for more advice (and believe me, I'll be following all that you have been so kind to send) - And yes, it is just TOOOO much fun - I'll be following your advice about the goldfish, I think - I started with 7 last year and now have 27!! Why do you like the Koi better? I see we're in the same zone, so you're probably with me in being envious of the others who already have lilies and lotus blooming - I only have two lilies and at this point, I'm wondering if they are dead - not a sign of life yet - what do you think? Talk to you soon - here's a quick shot, just taken today - two Mallards! What about them? Should I shoo them off, or will they be good tenants? Dax
