<p>Well my friend, what can I say, I hate to see waste but I hate to see a friend's anguish even more. On the other hand, you have just earned another feather in your hat, so congratulations! It is unfortunate that education is so expensive. No wonder I'm so broke. I know ALL the wrong way to do things. An expert at killing the innocent.</p>
<p>No worries, their souls hold no grudge for it was a pure mistake with no malice. Thing happen, and that's just life.</p>

<p>Thanks Sam,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You live and learn. Yes, always need to look into it as a positive learning experience and try to make sure that it doe not happen again. Just look at all the good wishes and fantastic and helpful advise our Aquapon Friends have provided. If this itself is not a blessing indeed, what is?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boy, we have so much to share and learn from each other :-)</p>

<p>Thanks TCLynx.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So much to learn. I know about adding carbon filters and have done so at my home Koi ponds, but you know, sometimes we are bigger fools to ourself..."it won't happen to me...I am too careful"...yeh...right. That's when it happens and makes you feel like a total and complete idiot. Boy! it took over a week before I had the guts to tell my wife and another two before she calmed down at the senseless waste. She had really got attached to them eating from her hands…</p>
<p>Thanks TCLynx.</p>

She had really got attached to them eating from her hands and was looking forward to feeding them watermelon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have got my "popcorn Koi" (unfortunately not show quality, just fillers - so at this stage, just blessed that they provide me with the magic fish waste), to eat from my hand. They are about 3 to 6 inches and in due course I will give some of them away to other local Aquapons and replace them with show or decorative quality Koi. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will check out the shop tab as you suggest. Getting ready for tomorrows transplanting and God willing we will have a wonderful garden again :-)</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The filter is good for 20,000 gallons, you can also flush any sediments out by running water in the opposite direction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since I have added this, no more fish kill when leaving the water on and over filling my tanks.</p>

<p>Looks like a great setup, sorry to hear about the fish tragedy.</p>
<p>A toilet fill valve with a float will also work, everythings available at the local hardware, you might even consider an overflow valve in case the ball valve sticks.</p>
<p>They also have water/moisture alarms for your water heater drip pan, that you could utilize in case of an overflow or overlill also.</p>

<p>Sorry about the disaster but it means you will have nice fresh plantings in for the tour this Sept so I suppose that could be looked at as a good thing.</p>
