You have questions. We have answers.
The waterlily is one of the most popular additions to any fish pond or water garden. They are beautiful, have wonderful flowers, and of course the the most favored area for our favorite pond inhabitant, the frog, to hang out.
While these "jewels" of the water garden are beautiful they do have have a few requirements for them to grow big and beautiful. Have you ever noticed from one year to the next they just aren't doing as well or maybe you noticed it's not blooming?

We live in a world of hustle and bustle, our time is at a premium and most of that time is taken up by daylight. Often, we work long hours during daylight and just don't have the time to sit back and enjoy our koi ponds or water features during the day. When the sun turns off, it doesn't mean we have to stop enjoying all the beauty our water features and koi ponds posses. The night koi pond and water feature is like no other.
Skimmers... it's a word often associated with swimming pools, however they are a integral piece of the filtration puzzle for koi ponds and water gardens. Koi pond skimmers perform the mechanical part of the filtration process. Koi pond skimmers are a line of defense in keeping leaves, twigs and other debris by catching this debris in an easy to empty debris basket. In addition, the great koi pond skimmer also houses the pump, the heart of any koi or fish pond. Why is any of this of any importance for the koi pond hobbyist?
