I went down to Koi Villa to get a new UV filter. I ended up getting a biofilter/UV combo. It seems nice because I can bury it and it will be less obtrusive than the above ground UV tube Ken had. Plus I think his homemade biofilter box is kinda weak.
They had some beautiful little Japanese Koi that had just come in, maybe five inches long. Pretty much exactly what I'd like to buy. A small but high quality traditional red & white koi. I held off, however. Jennifer wouldn't appreciate my bringing home a $120 fish right now.
We got some stuff to put on the plants to get rid of the aphids. I'm thinking about just taking the pickerel and (I think it's) arrowroot out of the pond for a while, too. They should be fine if I give them a good hosing daily. They're just weeds, anyhow, but the aphids love 'em.
