hello again......another noob question??? I read in another thread that pond skimmers are fish traps I assume they meant the kind with the flap door my question is do fish pond owners still use them and just watch for trapped fish or is there an alternative I know there are floating type skimmers but i already bought mine with the flap door is there a way to modify it to deter fish away...
Maybe i have to rethink the way i was going to set up the pond this is what i had..
At the deep end there is the skimmer set in the bank the pump is in the bottom of the skimmer and pumps up to a skippy style filter thats pushes water up through the filter pads and dumps it out as a water fall on the opposite end of the pond....sounds simple
but there was no mention of it being a fish trap on the site i got the plans from..Doh!!!
