Hi Elizabeth & Karom, Glad to hear from u guys..Welcome.... First I thought only me and soelistyo playing the double team in this forum, now we even have double mix. Its nice to have a young lady in the group too... ahhh...Karom !! If i only bulit my pond just like yours (no filter first), . I will be able to get more spaces for my pond. Then built a complete TT tower....it will be a blest in disguise Tya, If you got a pop eye, I suggest to quarantine it first of all. Put lots of areation for it. A lot of medication for pop eyes. But first you can check this forum for pop eyes in the 'health and medication', just search for pop eye or popeye. I never experence a pop eye before so can't tell much, but lots of master will tell you how in the health section. I also got a kind of very light tea color but crystal clear. Don't know why, maybe cause I'm using a well water, not a tap water. If you feel frustated to get a crystal clear, then this is what I do but need lots of work. I arrange my system contraversy with the most systems. My first layer is the white cotton wool, then second is the taiwan mate (deep blue color). Then the rest is the biological filtering systems (bi0-balls, bio home etc). By this All the big, small, tiny, microns debris will not pass through. But then I will have the cotton wool and the taiwan mate washed twice a day, or else they will 'macet'. Lots of work, but then I have my pembantu doing it ... and my water is crsytal clear. If your pond is still 3 months old, i suggest you check the water parameters (minimum - ph, amonium, nitrite) weekly so you have a good and healthy enviroment for them. Starting to feel stress rather than joy ???? Welcome to this hoby.... Luckyl
