GIGGETY-GIGGETY!!
O.k ..i made a pond vac with my old tetrapond bio trickle filter and my basement pond vac parts...this works well! anyways im using the tetrapond as an underwater fines and start off filter till my fish come outside.so when im done i'll take fotos and post them in a thread showing the vaccuums construction, but for now the sloppy drawing gives the general idea...those cheap $25 wayne biofilters https://www.gardenpondforum.com/wayne-pond-bio-filter-t4184.html would serve well!!
anyways my lillies are slow to get going but my iris' in a floating planter ring is off to the races already!! you can see the difference in the pond in these pix theres 15 fish in the pond all about 2" or so.(they fought to stay outside last fall) our weather has been screwwy to say the least,30s and 40s at night and in the 50s for days..
the first 2 pics are the pond today...the last 2 are before i vaccumed ... the middle is obviously a schmatic of the vasccuum design...this unit sits underwater
