This year hasn't turned out anything like we'd expected and I'm finding myself at home more than ever. I've been enjoying the calming sounds and movement of the water and life within. We did finally make a trip to visit my family in Michigan for a few weeks and came back to the pond being overgrown, a little dirty and with a broken waterfall pump. We also had some other big house problems we came back to that have put a hurting on the bank account, so I'll be without the waterfall for a little while.
I see your requests for more content and I'm at the point where I don't have much maintenance or things to video about the pond except when I do things like today. I closed down, sold, and re-homed all the tanks I had in the garage when work required me to be on the road a lot. I'll do my best to keep you informed. My son's pet turtle did take over one of the 40 gallon breeder tanks I had. He hasn't made it on KZfaq yet....maybe soon.
Here's a link to the equipment I'm using:
Danner AP-20 air filter I use: amzn.to/30qwiup
Pondmax PF3600 Filter: pondmax.com/pf3600-pressure-fi...
2600 GPH ProLine Hy-Drive Pump amzn.to/2Xr6nRr

How are the predators have they been major issues without a cage or netting? We have raccoons local cats but mostly raccoons that cause problems that I have caught trying to fish in our little pond it is why I am making mine MUCH deeper at least 4 feet straight down no ledges for them to take fish from. :/ I would love to hear how your fish have been fairing as you seem to be in a location with more wildlife. FYI I live in a city so I was shocked to even see the raccoons.

Do you need heater in the winter? How cold is your winter?

Great looking modern pond. I am about to create a smaller version in our courtyard here in FL. Did you add a skimmer? If not do you have any issues with floating debris? And how did you hide the liner under the flat stone. Do you regret not adding a drain?

@CCxRC 3 жыл бұрын

I would add a skimmer next time which would help with the debris on the bottom. I don’t regret not adding a drain as the air stones help lift things from the bottom into the filter. But I don’t mind doing a little maintenance on mine

Is that your only filter? Too much water and way too many fish for it, check out other videos on KZfaq about acceptable filtration for Koi ponds! It’s not about water clarity, it’s about Ammonia and Nitrite levels! Buy yourself some test kits and check your water weekly as these can both kill your fish! The problem will get progressively worse as the fish grow and produce increased waste! I have a similar sized pond with around 4500 UK gallons and my filters hold around 300-400 gallons! There are more modern systems that hold less like “Bakki Showers” or Nexus, but small pressure filters are a recipe for disaster! They are only really suitable for ornamental ponds without fish or just a few goldfish! They don’t contain enough “filter media” to provide sufficient surface area for the amount of nitrifying bacteria needed to cope with the waste (poo) produced by Koi! You could make a home made “Bakki Shower” quite cheaply, lots of vids on KZfaq, (search) which you could add AFTER your existing pressure filter, will improve your water quality massively!

Do you have trouble keeping otters and stuff away from the fish?

I sold, rehomed, and closed them down because I got a new job and was always on the road. Hope to one day get a larger one going. For now, I'm focusing on the pond and hoping to make it bigger.
