BlueOrca's pond

[BlueOrca]

Here is my new pond (started Easter weekend). It is 16x8x3 deep, rubber roofing liner, 3100 gph pump (Alpine Cyclone), 2 Doc Bio barrels with venturi's added to the water in pipes (an experiment on adding air to filter).



It is far from done, but getting there. I still need to disguise the 3" pvc with some jute rope, finish the pergola screen and get more plants in there. (9 2-3" koi, a Shubunkin and a sarasa comet...had 10 but lost one koi)

barrels.........

PVC ring with plastic chicken fencing to hold media away from settling area

screen on top

lava rock, plastic and fencing bits (venturi sticking out of 1" supply line)

I also added another fencing ring to hold an additional screen at the top (no picture), and to keep the bio media in place.
