Backyard Pool Pond Maintenance 2024
Hi Aquamigos! I had to do some much needed maintenance to my backyard pool pond after a raccoon made a mess of it. The pond was in desperate need of some maintenance anyway, so it was ok. I cleaned out the mechanical, and biological filters and I also cleaned out the pump, my separate fountain pump filter and I also topped the pond off with some fresh water. Now, a month later, the water is looking a lot better.

    That's very nice of your dad to let you do this pond in the backyard. Most parents, including me would say no. My kid has all these grand ideas and only follows through when I force him. I think he gets that from his mother's side of the family. I did help him with a large greenhouse. That's been fantastic. We're on our third harvest of cannabis and I'm very happy with the quality.

The AU-PM401 mic is unavailable or out of stock on Amazon, and I cannot find it online. Is the AU-A04 still good for gaming, music, online meetings, recordings, etc.? I got the AU-A04 for $50 plus free delivery. Is that a good deal? Is it worth it?

    I am literally doing the same thing right now to my pond and fountain. My big goldfish had 100s maybe 1000s of babies in my pond so it’s taking soooo long. I’m going to put all my baby goldfish into my large pond I have behind my pool. And then I’m going to keep my original 10-12 largest goldfish that I will keep in my fountain pond. This so much much work. I feel your pain. Trust me. I did the sump pump trick before you showed it on your video. I was going to recommend you use that to drain the water down. It makes it easier to catch the fish since they have less room to swim. I used my sump pump and hooked up a hose and drained out a lot of the water which made it easier to catch, but I still have hundreds of little babies that are avoiding me that I’m having such a hard time catching. Some people were like oh just leave them and if they die, they die and the animal lover that I am, I cannot do that. I have to catch every single baby, no matter if it’s a microscopic size baby or inch long baby I’m catching them all! You for this video and showing me I am not alone in my work. This is so tedious and having a is not for people who do not like maintaining things because every year I have an issue with something in my pond.😂 love the video
