Have had visits from heron's over the years and early on I think they had some fish. Usually now the local seagulls make such a racket when one appears that it alerts you to it being there, sometimes they even see it off 'Battle Of Britain' style have witnessed this over my house when a heron was flying overhead, have never seen the heron since

I can safely say without fear of being told otherwise it is about waist deep just in front of you, I know this because I was a but drunk and fell in,luckily for me it was only shallow too, but from memory there is a fully about 19 wraps out to aim for

It's probab the most dangerous tackle shop I know of, every time I go in there it costs me at least £200

Might be something else, do a water test for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite, as you have recently changed all your filter media, it might need time to mature to start working properly

Bugger, have booked to fish wild boar this September, might have to make sure I wear wellies and not flip flops as don't really want to stand in some lazy gits ****, on another note was the food package worth it ? And judging by the comment about distance to loo it's a bit of hike from wild boar to the restaurants and shower/toilet block

if thats the algae stuff i have used previously, what you are meant to do is treat it and as the algae starts to clump up, scoop it with a net, also either your u v light is not big enough for the pond or you just need to wait a few weeks for it to start to clear,my pond is 8ft x 8ft x 5ft deep don't know the gallons, i have an evolution aqua 55w coupled to an easy pod complete which has a 15w uv built in and it copes farely well with green water, i do depending how hard i feed the fish or if i go for full on growth feed, seem to get blanketweed, of course you could also try adding some plants hanging from the side in them basket type things, as they will hopefully out compete the algae, as long as your fish don't eat them first, also get some floating plants which will then reduce surface area thus reduce amount of light getting into the pond
