Create a Temporary Quarantine Tank Outside of Your Waterfall Pond

!±8± Create a Temporary Quarantine Tank Outside of Your Waterfall Pond

With a temporary quarantine tank outside of your pond you will need to purchase several items. Here is your list.

• A container to use as your quarantine tank. You have the option of using a children's swimming pool. They can be purchased very inexpensively at the end of the summer or at flea markets. One item that could be used is a plastic tub such as the Rubbermaid ones you use for storage of items. If the fish are small you could use a large aquarium. The other option is horse or cattle troughs. Do not use anything made with a Latex sealant or metal because they could be toxic to your fish.

• An aerator is required. You can purchase an aerator kit but not one for an aquarium. Another option is to purchase a pump with a fountain or hose.

• Biological filter is recommended to cut down on the number of water changes. The mechanical filter removes solids and the biological filter removes ammonia and nitrites. You could purchase a kit with a filter, pump and fountain. Make sure the pump will circulate the water every 30 minutes.

• Your Koi will jump, especially when in a new environment so a cover is needed for your temporary tank. Netting, plywood, or a window screen can be used. Be sure to weigh down what you use because the larger fish can lift the cover. If you are using something solid don't forget to leave a hole for the gasses to escape.

• A heater is optional.

The quarantine tank is a mini version of your pond so you will set it up the same way. If you use a submersible pump be sure to put it in a net bag. You don't want the Koi to be hurt.

The size of the tank depends on the number of Koi and their size. You will want it to be up to 300 gallons. When you start going larger you should think about a permanent tank. Also, the bigger the tank the more it costs to treat it and the harder it is to catch the fish.

To start your tank you can use water from your existing pond. It is best to set the tank up several months before you use it in order to build up the bacteria that is needed when the fish are added. Once the tank is ready and your fish are settled in you will need to make water changes. With the use of a filtration system a 10-15% water change is required a couple times a week. If you opted to go without filtration then you will change 50% of the water daily. Check the water for ammonia and nitrite changes. If you are not feeding your fish then the levels are easier to control. Your fish can go at least 2 weeks without food.

They are so obviously western saddle breastcollars, right off the shelf, no modification at all. I own one just like it. On the one hand, I was like "hmm lazy, low budget day at Paramount studios" on the other, I applaud their ingenuity and adaptability. It obviously works. No one else seemed to notice it. Also, the Kazon always wore horse bits on their belts and their chests were decorated with square halter plates and other obvious harness hardware (which I think they did briefly fess up to in one of the bonus "making of" features on one of the dvd's somewhere.) Oh, and in the ...

7 Tips to Help You Get Through Labor

!±8± 7 Tips to Help You Get Through Labor

Labor is challenging, there's no denying it. Nevertheless, there are some tips that will help you get through it in one piece without resorting to pharmaceutical relief.

1. Let's Get Physical
Stay upright and active during labor. While you may not think this is what you want to do in the throes of your contractions, remaining upright and active can actually make your contractions less painful. It helps baby get in the right position, and it helps your contractions to be more efficient.

2. Control Your Environment
Go on, dim the lights. Turn up the music. Do a little slow dancing or swaying on your birth ball. Maintain your privacy. Tell your friends and family that you don't want them texting and calling every ten minutes for updates. They'll find out about the baby after you've had time to get to know your new little darling.

3. Reach Out and Be Touched
Employ your partner in some nice soothing massage in early labor. Once labor progresses, you may not enjoy a full massage as much. At that point, light stroking or cuddling may be more the order of the day. If you are having back pains during labor, they can apply counter pressure on your lower back. Tennis balls work wonders here... they not only provide good counter pressure for you, they save wear and tear on your partners hands and wrists.

4. Wet 'N Wild
Water is incredibly soothing during labor, which is why many women choose waterbirth. Even if you don't want to set up a pool in your living room, you can still utilize a nice warm shower or bath during labor. If you do choose a waterbirth, you can choose from special tubs made for birthing or use a deep blow up kiddie pool or even a large Rubbermaid horse trough. The important part is to have your belly immersed.

5. Its Cool
Keep a supply of cool cloths for your helpers to use. They can make you feel refreshed by wiping your face with one during active labor. They may feel good at any point if you feel hot and flushed by your exertions.

6. The Power of the Mind Positive affirmations, visualizations and positive self-talk are all powerful techniques to help you through the rough times of labor. Remember that millions of women all over the world have experienced this too. All our ancestors have managed to birth babies... we can too.

7. You Have a Friend
Having a doula or good friend there to help can work wonders. There is something about having a woman who has experienced childbirth there to help that truly works. Studies have shown doulas reduce the incidence of cesareans, epidurals and many other interventions.

Use these tips as you work through labor. Listen to your body and change your activity accordingly. Before you know it, your new baby will be safe in your arms.
