Building skipy filter for 4 year old pond

[zharris05]

Hey Folks,

I am planning on adding a skippy 100gal stock tank filter to my pond set up. My pond is 2000 gal and i have 2 small filters that i dont believe are getting the trick done. i have 4 koi and a few goldfish. Last year i had a leak and did a complete clean out but the green water is back. So my questions are is there any special instructions to add a skippy filter to a not new pond? Or any other tips would be appreciated.

Build it just like the plans you find on this site..

a UV would also help with your green water

if you wish to put your skippy pond side for the waterfall and would like a weir instead of a pipe output...and you cant make one yourself, i make and sell them.

the way i elevated my swirl pipes in the stocktank filter isnt the norm. and most people wouldnt be able to do it that way. but the way i did it in my 55 gal drum filter is easy and would work in a stocktank as well,even using a dollar store wash basin instead of a oil pan. i show this 1/2 way down the first page.
