That must have been horrible to see. I am so sorry. I hope you get it all
figures out.

pond help needed
A few weeks ago I set it up again and to my horror today found 3 ADULT NEWTS
(dead)STUCK half in and half out of the slits in pump (Oase pump).
On googling this problem it seems many others have this same problem (with
various makes of pumps) with not only newts, but tadpoles and small fish getting
sucked into pumps. I have found a few suggestions (nylon tights around the pump
but some say the claws of the newts get stuck in the mesh).
For a short term solution I have a laundry bag that lets water in/out used to
stop dog hair messing up the washing machine which I have zipped around it, but
as there are no visable holes I would imagine that any dirt would not be able to
get through to the filter? although the water is flowing freely, so the UV light
will still be functioning.
Has anyone else any better suggestion???
Many thanks
Sue Francis
