Where do you get the clear/colorless iodine? I asked at our Tractor supply, they didn't have any.

Any place like walmart or walgreens should have it in the first aid section.

X2!

Sometimes it's labeled Iodine Tincture as well... small bottles, usually near the alcohol and regular iodine...

Thanks for noticing...it's been a small struggle. The pond is man made and was here when we a bought the property. It's natural spring fed and was...And may I highlight "was" clear enough to see our comets,kois,and breams swimming three foot deep all the way across. So after our babies made there presence known by mudding up the whole thing, we got airation system and its still not clear and we added the blue dye. And we've done some intense bottom cleaning .it us amazing wat some people will throw in a pond. But our babies have helped a o much by clewnung it up too. And the fish crawdads and bullfrogs give plenty to do all day. They are all put up in there luxurious two story "Quack Shack" lol. and the indoor outdoor carpet is very easy to wash away the bsd poopy. They love it and they love the pond. I have to go out in my kayak each night to round em up then they know where to go. Huey and Dewy our muskys love the top the most.. thinking bout opening up a syn roof covered slash top deck for them with roosting limbs.

Thanks and their hard not to love... Our six oldest are our first babies. They are almost 3 months old. I can hand feed all. And get snuggles from every night after I put em up. Is it on the ramp and talk to and rub and hold each one individually almost every night. They tell me about their day and I tell them all kinds of stuff. And the best part is they have no idea and no worries about what I'm saying. But they are listening as they look me in the eye lol.

And if I get to missing late I'm out checking on and or talking to my babies.

And we have our Lucky in the house and 8, 5 day old Apple yard mixes under the light... https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/7533964/width/200/height/400[/IMG not to mention our turkeys chickens turkey peacocks mmmm am I leaving anyone out.
