WHISKEYS NEW POND PROJECT

[taherrmann4]

Isn't it winter there whiskey? You sure got a good start on it.

Taherrmann4 winter here and fairly cold, 0 to1c over night but during the day around 6c, still a little every day helps progress
My plans for system of flow are as follows:
bottom drain to sieve and sponges to pump chamber, pump chamber houses two pumps .
1] to feed waterwheel to exit via waterfall to lower pond.
2] to feed uv and bio filter exit to shower filled with media to exit into top pond.
3] paired to match 2] ...to keep top pond clean pumped to waterfall to exit into lower pond.
Also skimmer with pump 1750lph with flow bar exit to circulate water more

hi all today was my wife day to remember ...she passed her driving test with only 4 faults......excellent
Pond had a back seat but managed two hours.

prep takes time.....chip chip chip.........all for the love of fish

hi all well rain over night made it slippery under foot but my son and i soldiered on putting boards down after we moved 1 ton of sand from under pond [ this will now get used on blockwork] ,so we managed to dig channel for bottom drain, but will have to centre it and straighten channel plus level the gully.

 

[j.w]

Looks like lots of hard work to me whiskey! You got blisters on your fingers from all that digging? Keep plugging along cuz you're getting closer to the finish line little by little...........actually quite a bit getting done. Good on ya!
