Going for it! phase one 12,000 gallon pond.

[YShahar]

Added a G-tek nano bead filter. While the bog works great . My pond with the remakes adding on to the pond my original location of my skimmer worked great that is untill I built the intake bay and now had water flowing in different directions. The skimmer was my only means of mechanical filtration.

So my solution was to add a large bead filter to the pond this way I could remove solids much sooner than when the built up in the bog. View attachment 162221

Now I have plumbed this as two units working together and also where I can separate them from each other in the event something went wrong. Both the bog and the bead can carry the pond by them selves. And I can byvturning ball valves divert the flow to one or the other or both.

Um... So how exactly did you manage to get this photo of the inside of the Iranian plutonium enrichment facility? Enquiring minds want to know!

working pretty actually , that radiated heavy water looks great , crystal clear has that polished look

No, but it wouldn't be hard to. I think I have plenty of beneficial bacteria, though, because we have 400 million frogs and regular duck visitors and the water always tests near perfect. Also, I used pond water and a few stones from the pond for the 20 gal hospital tank. Didn't change it for almost 2 weeks and never even got a trace amount of ammonia.



EXCUSE ME, SIR! I have 8 full inches of lean, mean frog devouring machine. But really, though, how do I teach this fish to eat some frogs?

YOU CAN TEACH THEM TO EAT FROGS ALL YOU WANT THATS NOT HARD, WHATS HARD IS YOU HAVE TOADS NOT FROGS. The last I remember that is I believe you showed toads matting or am I a toad and have my posts mixed up. ?

10 more coming this spring. for the breeding program

Do you have pictures of the new fish that you bought?

And are you really going to expand the pond?? You need to start building ponds for others so that you get it out of your system! I can't wait to follow the progress of the next phase.

don't have a clue as to what your inferring

Even ODD balls have a Soft spot. This little guy was found tangled in the Heron net. Oddly enough this little guy did not give me too much grief trying to free him. Once I did free him, I brought him to the Mrs so she could see him as its not every day a wild rabbit trusts us. Once she saw him she wanted to give him a carrot and probably still being a little shell shocked i figured i'd put him down at the pond and he gave me a gift my heading out to Hobbit falls and taking a drink and a nibble. VERY COOL
