cheers mategot a fair bit of sludge as I have overhanging vegetation/dog n cat displace soil etc into the pond. Have tried scooping with a net but it just sends the water into meltdown for a few days where I can't see foc all and the fish must get stressed with it, hence the vac idea
its more of a wildlife pond and they cope but lost a young un the other day which was one for the future in my eyes. just want clear water so I can see them all the time......have you ever tried that sludge buster stuff where you empty a sachet in and 8.5 Million bugs eat the sludge?
harry, I would but the garage is full of stereos and hub caps
