My Water Garden

My water garden is a simple setup that really is a glorified stock tank. Actually it is a stock tank --one of those metal round water troughs. I think mine is 6 ft diameter. I had the tank to water my horses and later acquired some homeless goldfish. The water turned green immediately. So, I installed an OASE Aquamax 2100 and a Biotec 4 filter. Still I had green water so I put in a Tetra UV 3 and no more green water. After a year or so, I upgraded to a Filtoclear 3000 filter. Cleaning is much easier and the filter/uv footprint is much less. I am the proud owner of the most crystal clear watering trough in Lincoln County! Complete with a blooming water lily and 8 goldfish!

    Excuse me, but I don't think you have the clearest water in Lincoln County. My mother does!
