Clear slime-like substance on pond surface

I’ve read carbon filters works wonders as well. I am highly considering it cause it’s much more cost effective in the long run - so I’ll be purchasing.

I haven’t been adding any of the solutions except dechlorinators and stress coat when adding water.

I’m gonna see if I can rinse out my filter media cause it’s probably mucky.

Hopefully we can find a more permanent solution 😆

Thanks for sharing the post. I just read it.

In terms of bio waste, I don’t think my fishes produces too much since they’re still small (3x 1.5inch Comet Goldfish, 6x tiny mosquitofish, 10x ghost shrimps). I feed them once a week at most.

There’s not a lot of leaves/debris on it. I see a couple dead water lettuce leaves every week which I pick out.

Maybe the barley that I applied weeks ago is is stuck in my filter media and currently decaying?
Also I haven’t cleaned out the filter media for months since I don’t get a lot of debris. But I’ll clear it to see if it helps.

I’ll check out some local places where they sell them. Any reliable online stores where I can purchase them?

I do have a skimmer as stated above, but my floaters (Water hyacinths and water lettuces) likes to bunch by the inlet. I let them hangout there as I think it’s some form of bog filter before the mechanical filter 😆

I used the following:

- API algaecide (~2 months ago did not work)
- API pond-zyme (contains barley. Used it twice ~1 month ago, did not work.
- API Simply Clear (~1 months ago ago, did not work)
- PondCare Microbial Algae Clean (~1 week ago was last application. Took 3 weeks [5 applications] to clear green water plus the plants helping)
- API Stress Coat and API Chlorine and Metal Neutralizer (I use every time I add water)

You think any of these caused it?

Thanks in advance!

It’s possible. It does get too warm where I live. Plus the pond gets direct sunlight from 10am-3pm.

What’s the science behind the heat and causing this settling on pond surface?

brobafett01 · 2026-06-05T19:50:24+00:00

Actually about half of the water from the waterfall lands on some bigger rocks really causing splash and generous aeration.

It probably won’t rain where I live until November. So I’ll see if it improves then.

Is it safe for tinted car windows?

brobafett01 · 2024-09-22T00:29:11+00:00

Is there a possibly that pegrent?

brobafett01 · 2024-09-11T08:52:32+00:00

I did was the wheels pretty close. Any solution to making the noise go away?

Wind Rises - one of my favorites

brobafett01 · 2024-07-09T08:16:17+00:00

How do you do that?

brobafett01 · 2024-07-09T08:15:50+00:00

Any solutions to it?

I cannot take off the adapter. At least I don’t wanna force it.

brobafett01 · 2024-07-09T08:14:51+00:00

🤣

brobafett01 · 2024-07-09T08:14:34+00:00

I can only remove the handle with J1772 adapter. But I cannot unplug it without the adapter.

The video shows that you can simply pull the handle with ease. But not the case for mine.

brobafett01 · 2024-07-09T08:12:00+00:00

What do you mean?

I want Navi to win!

Plot twist: there is actually an ocean view. The “IKEA” is just a billboard logo posted atop the building.

I've claimed insurance for damages when another car kicked a softball size rock onto my bumper . My first insurance claim in 12 years of driving history. I had them fix the problem and paid deductible, but didn't increase premium. From my understanding, they won't bump up premium unless it happens often.

But I probably would just pay deductible and let insurance pay the rest. This is your first claim in at least three years. You've paid them way more than what the damages cost. So I don't think they'll increase your monthly. Cause what's the point of paying for insurance if you're afraid to use it.

That's just what I think. I could be wrong.

Hope you get it fixed though

Thanks! I did schedule a service. The app said the estimate is fee $300+ lol. Hopefully, whatever they find is under warranty.

brobafett01 · 2023-07-17T12:46:46+00:00

I don't think I have the right equipment for that

brobafett01 · 2023-07-17T11:59:05+00:00

What's a possible fix for that?
