You need to get a go-pro camera for some underwater shots. I've got an Olympus in SA near the airport, but the go pro would produce better wide-angles, has a pole mount, and can be programmed to take pics automatically. Sounds like your pond has become world famous!

You should try a flagtail or two. They would go nuts for that algae

I love the stock in there. The aro looks great and so does the hi-fin.
Cant wait to see the next update.

Today I hooked up the AquaC Pond Protein Skimmer. It's a bit taller than I was expecting at 31". Here's a side by side with the modified EV240...




It immediately began collecting foam so I took a short video. Excuse the sound, the mic on this camera is super sensitive...it is not this loud around my pond lol.

I treated with prazi a week ago so I'm not sure if that is causing some extra foaming. If the skimmer keeps pulling out this much I will be very very impressed. I have had to empty the bucket twice already and the skimmate is much darker than what I was collecting with the EV240. I'll update in a week or so if it keeps working this well.
