The goldfish moved out yesterday. Took awhile for water temperature to come up with many cold nights so far this spring. The UV light was upgraded to a proper pond-type unit this year, replacing the aquarium model we’ve been using the past few years. It was integrated with the fountain pump on a new intake/filter. Liner is fully watertight. Looking forward to getting a good growth of java moss going in the sump this year. That stuff might be one of the best components of the overall filter system.
First crisis was averted after I walked out mid morning to find a goldfish in the yard! He must’ve decided to make a jump for it right before I came out, because he was still alive and laid on the bottom for awhile gasping for water after I threw him back in, but apparently got over it.
