I was wondering that too. Looks a little low.
Honestly, I don't think it looks low.. I was refering more to the heat that we've got going on down here... ;)

Thanks everybody. I have to top it off all the time, but I try to do it as little as possible. Im having to about once a week at the moment. That is actually about full, there is a small leak somewhere near the top and I have not taken the time to find it and fix it. It hasnt really bothered me though.

haha its fine. The leak is definitely on the to do list, just not ranked very high as far as priorities go. I also want to clean out the area where the canna lillies are and turn it into another bog filter. So that the canna roots will always be in water and they will grow better, as well as having a little more filtration for the pond.

So did your fish enjoy the rain yesterday(Sunday morning)?

I remember when my pond was running they were always more active after a rain.

As it finally starts to get colder and winter approaches I now have to come up with a plan to catch a 12" tinfoil barb, 2 10" bala sharks, 3 15" florida gar, and about 10 plecos ranging in size from 8" to 15" from a 13,000 gallon pond. I have already caught my 18" giraffe cat during feeding time. I have no idea how I am going to catch the balas and tinfoil barbs, I might try shining them with a flashlight and scooping them up. We shall see. lol
