I joined a pond forum once when my fish were leaping out and committing suicide. Mostly I read, but I did post my question. About 6 people responded, I found a link to a homemade filtering/no chemical process which I printed and copied. Our fish and pond have been healthy for years. Of course, by the time I realized it had worked and gone to find the forum, I couldn't find it anymore. I hadn't thought to save it in my bookmarks, and couldn't remember the name. After a bit, I gave up. Since I wasn't an active, regular participant on the site, I, honestly, had forgotten what it was called. I like to think no one lost sleep worrying about my fish.

Love the fish story . I usually find threads about sick dogs late, and am always happy to read the good ending (for the most part).
