Cool is an understatement... A shoal of CL's would be friggin' Mon-Star sweet!
I've got the neighbor kid cleaning the pool twice a week. You can see the green around the edges. He's cleaning it with a vaccum brush head.
I've finally got some serious algae in the filter.
I changed my filter system a little bit. I put the garbage/basket back in front of the drain pipes to catch the leaves and stuff. I also filled it up with the filter brushes to get a little more of the particles. My filter felt was clogging up too quick and this seem to help alot. I'm cleaning the filter felt about once per week now with no problem. The water running into the filter from the green tube is from the vaccum filter. Towards the end of cleaning the water starts looking a little green.

Here are a couple of update photos from my Guapote/turtle pond. It's so funny when I throw liver in there and the turtle fights the Guapotes for it. They pull him around the pond until he lets go. Then he starts all over again. What a persistent little bugger.
