Water Gardening: My humble water garden, 0 by mothermole

Drunk college student . . . I had to look at our location and had the "ah-ha" moment. Yeah, I knew that tank in the basement would be hard to keep. Remember me telling you how hard it was for me to keep my hospital tank running and the fish healthy? It's 120 gallons and I have nearly 3 times the filtration necessary but I still have to do frequent water changes - at least every other day or every day for optimum health. My koi are in there right now and have been for about 8 days. I had my pond cleaned out (power-washed) and bought some more fish and am treating them all for parasites and other nastiest that they may have gotten over the winter. All the fish are healthy-no major issues like two years ago. I do have a leakage problem in my waterfalls that I am trying to figure out how to fix it. The weather has been too chilly to treat the fish the past few days but there they sit and I have to clean that tank out . . .
All and all ponding is a very time consuming and expensive hobby (my husband calls it a drug habit . . .LOL!). The house may be a mess but the koi hospital is clean . . .
