I am about to install a water pump in my aquarium.?

I want to use a water conditioner, so i bought aqua safe water conditioner. I know how much to use, can i pour the amount of drops i need while the fish or frogs are in there? or should i take them out and mix the water really good and wait for it to settle or something?

It's always best to mix any chemicals in water before you add them to the tank (in case you accidentally add too much), but the water is safe to use almost immediately, so you don't need to wait for it to settle or anything like that.

I'm assuming that your water only contains chlorine, which is why you're using Aqua Safe. If your water company uses chloramine to treat your water, this product doesn't remove the ammonia produced when the chloramine bond is broken, and the ammonia can affect your fish and frog. If you're not sure what the water company uses, you may want to hold off till next week to do a water change (after a call to your water company): http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/chlor.h tm

Pond water quality -Should I get plants to help clean it? - About ...

To help keep it clean, I am putting tube socks over the intake valves on the pumps…While we never planned on any wild life, a frog moved in, and we want to make sure he is healthy.

The water gets a little stinky because he eats a ton…I am considering putting in some plants. Will this make the water dirtier or cleaner? I have been changing the water weekly and adding some of the stuff from my aquarium to de-chlorinate it..

Are Plants a good or bad idea?

I have a pond with over twelve dozen minnows in it. The minnnows help keep bacteria clean from, your pond and this is why my pond is looking great. Try it in your pond…buy some minnows.

I also have water plants growing in the pond that I took from a nearby lake.

There is moss growing on my inside, but it looks pretty and the water is clean because the minnows help keep it clean…it’s a proven fact. Ask any DNR they will tell you that minnows are a life saver.

I also have a small pond on my deck(a much larger one near my patio)you do need a few small plants and one small fish(one that keeps small ask your local dealer).It’s good that you change the water weekly and use the the de-chlorinator is OK,you will also need to add some ceramic pieces (get them at the fish store) in the tube socks and let them become your biological filter(rinse once a month with cold water).you should also add some algae control(also at your fish store)but get the one that does not harm plants.

It sounds like you’re circulating water but not filtering it.

In an enclosed pond, with no natural flow in some entry and exit point, that WILD pond will develop odors too; especially with wildlife residents. Plant life adds ambience but also decays. It might minimally help with oxygenation and some food source for wwildlife, but in decaying plant life will give off odor also.
