Roughly 1k for the pond and around 3k for the deck.

Looks like it's going to fair the winter just fine...did you go to a low protein diet and all?

It was a cold fall and the water dropped from 70s to 60 pretty quickly around October. I cut back then and changed growth to staple then wheat germ. The water stayed around 50 until recently, but I pretty much stopped feeding all together in November. Since it is pretty much just goldfish now I will probably wait until spring to start feeding again.

LOL. I think she is actually ready for it to warm up. She made a comment the other day about how I am pacing around looking for things to do since I can't "play" with the pond.

Last night was the first night with the net up, and I kept thinking I was hearing something on the deck. The pond is right outside my bedroom window and I was having visions of critters tangled in netting.
