    Duck pond is driving us crazy - ready to give up my precious ducks :( Advice?

    You're welcome! So when I was typing earlier, I had tiny children running around and made a few mistakes. The filter should be at least 3 times the gallons of the pond, not the pump. Woops! The bag should be around the pump in the pond, not the filter. Again, woops. The pump does need to...
