How Do EPDM Rubber Pond Liners Work?
Unlike many pond products today, whose manufacture has been outsourced to developing countries, many EPDM pond liners and accessories are 100 percent made in the USA. This means their design quality and standards are superb. Many of these pond liners are sold with underlayment which has a strength that is high tensile. This is essentially an additional isolation layer that is placed beneath the liner. The underlayment will provide you with a long lasting and stable foundation which can be used with waterfalls, water gardens or Koi ponds.

They are quiet, happy creatures that require little maintenance or care and have an extremely long lifespan. The best type is aquatic, as they will rapidly acclimate themselves to the Oklahoma ponds and water feature environment. Below are some additional things you’ll need to know. Climate And PlantsAnother thing to consider when adding turtles to your Oklahoma pond is the climate and plants. Those living in the north where winters are cold might only be able to live outside during spring and summer. Unlike fish, turtles have little protection against freezing temperatures, and although they can hibernate outside, doing so can be risky. The best solution is to bring your turtles indoors until spring. Here in Oklahoma we leave our turtles out except for those few occasions we get extremely cold for an extended period of time. Turtles can deal serious damage to your plants, especially the aquatic ones. This is because they enjoy eating them, so you have to be mindful of the type of plants you have. The best plants for turtles are water hyacinth, tape grass, fairy moss, and water lettuce. Turtle Necessities
How Turtles Interact With Koi Fish
How To Contain Turtles In Oklahoma Backyard Ponds & Water FeaturesThe last consideration is fencing. If you already have turtles, fencing-in your Oklahoma pond or water feature will prevent most predators from getting in and keep the turtles from escaping. If your pond is not fenced in, there is greater chance wild turtles will find your pond, but know that they may only be temporary residents. Turtles love to wander and explore, and it is encouraged that you don’t overly restrict their natural freedom when it’s not necessary, such as in the case of a rescued and rehabilitating turtle.

Fish Food Storage Ideas for Oklahoma City and Surrounding Area Pond & Water Garden Owner's12/6/2019 Storing Oklahoma Fish Food Properly - It Matters Fish food storage is an important aspect Oklahoma area pond and water garden owners often overlook! Proper fish storage food is essential to keeping it from going bad or getting mice, cats, mold or other unwanted critters in it. We recommend keeping fish food in a tightly sealed container of some sort. In the Spring, Summer and Fall we leave it outside in a shady, covered area. Be careful if storing it in the garage as it might be too hot and cause the food to go bad. During the winter months we store it in the garage out of the elements. Does it really matter if its old?Yes! If the food is old, it may smell funny or have a fuzz on it. It might change color or consistency. Feeding fish spoiled food can cause them illness! Better for them to wait a few days to be fed while you get some fresh food than to eat something that may hurt them. If the food is bad you’ll have to throw it out. In the meantime you could give them a bit of green lettuce or some fruit. They will enjoy a sliced zucchini, blueberries or watermelon. Tip: If you buy fish food in larger quantities, don’t put the food in the freezer. That can degrade the nutrients in it. Put it in the fridge for best preservation.
