Hi. My pond was started off as a garden feature with an urn in the middle. Then it became a fish pond - 560L plus 90L urn and now a very broken (but working) urn after our 7.8earthquake.
I have repotted tipped out plants and tried to clean water mess and amazingly 6 of the 7 goldfish survived. Now I'm starting to have a build up of poo and algae, need to do a vacuum of sorts (going to try the full hose of water on an aquarium vacuum) and use Prime and Stability.
It hasn't got a filtration system and wondering if I could incorporate one in the new urn - I.e. In the middle? (Husband will help if it's simple - after quake he added the yellow addition to help strengthen temporary aeration.
Not sure of pump size 12? max on 240v house system.
Fish fed once a day and rubbish scooped daily.
Haven't got a test kit but will get one - fish have grown happily from little fellas to 6cm and still thriving - (mother is a bit fanatical and quake fragile.)
Any help appreciated.
