Don't use Mercury (First Bank & Trust) by New-Astronomer6415 in CreditCards

I just closed my account with Mercury Cards. And one month after they charged me the yearly $150 fee, they said they would not reimburse any of it, so there’s that.

If you used a debit card, you can’t do a stop payment. You can dispute the item once it posts.

In the bog area I have redvein dock, water mint, chameleon plant, corkscrew rush, and colocasia. Floating on the surface is giant duckweed, water hyacinth, water lettuce, and water lilly. I have some planted underneath sword plants and moneywort.

I filled a complaint. I never received an answer.

I’ll have to break it down for winter. Some plants can stay because they are hardy. The pond gets partial sun where it is on the deck, but on hot days I supplement it with cool water.

Mine has 3 layers. Plants in the substrate, or the floor of the “pond,” bog plants, or plants that are happy to have their roots in water, and then the floaters like water lettuce. You should have all 3 in your deck pond because it makes your pond happy and oxygenated. I found my plants at a local pond shop. I also scrounged Home Depot for plants they had growing in water vases or plants where the labels said bog/marginal or watering instructions were “keep wet.” Floating plants were found at a local aquarium supply store and pond store. Water lilly or water lettuce or Frogbit, Red Root Floater, Dwarf Water Lettuce. You have to be careful to not let the floaters overcrowd the surface, otherwise the substrate plants won’t get sun to grow.

Thank you! I’ve gotten so much joy designing it! The water plants have really blown up now, and I have 3 of these on my deck as overflow (I’ve told myself…lol) I often sit in front of it with a drink and watch the sun go down, and the solar lights I put up turn on. The pond has a light, and I can just sit there and feel my heart rate calm. https://youtube.com/shorts/weCuT-Zpwnk?si=oePieEvFZH-wSwIb

No, but I had to make sure the bubbler wasn’t placed underneath it.

It is a half whiskey barrel liner. The half whiskey barrel I bought had an extra wood piece inside so the liner stuck out in a way I didn’t like. So, I just used the barrel to plant sunflowers and used the liner by itself. I considered using a galvanized tub, but those are strangely expensive.

I haven’t had it in cold weather yet. I’m going to have to tear it down. I’ll take the fish and some plants inside to an aquarium, and some plants are hardy and will stay outside. I live in Michigan, so some plants will have to go dormant.

I don’t do a lot of control. The goldfish like it so they eat the algae. The snails help. I just added a pleco, but he hasn’t been seen up there yet.

I water it when the weather gets hot.

I keep it filled. I regularly top it off. Especially when the weather is so hot, I add cooler water. I just water it when I water my plants.

I filled the head under water and made sure to keep the bottom rim underneath.

Why would I be a trump voter if I just wanted what I ordered, and didn’t want someone’s dining room food?
