some pics of my pond and new filter

3100 gallon pond with a skimmer and bio falls being pushed by a 4800 gph pondmaster pump. Also running a 2000 gph pondmaster pump going to 2 55 gallon drums one contains spring flow the other skippy pads. After the 55 gallon drums I have a 6000 gallon 40 watt pondmaster uv light. Water is clear and fish are happy....I need to make it bigger in the spring

That is a good looking pond you have there !!

Thank you sir

 

[stroppy]

great how you manage to hide all the drums too

 

[DrDave]

Nice job on the filters! Did you install dump valves in the bottom?

 

[geo125]

Thanks you can still see the drums a little but in time with grass and shrubs it will be covered .... Yes there are dump valves in the bottom of both drums.. I took your advice filters work great. I am very happy with the setup next year I plan on making it bigger and deeper ...

The only problem I have is air lock but 1 more vent should do the trick

By popular demand, I have placed some photos on my web site on my bio filter.

I used wirey vine to cover my stucture. It grows so well, you have to give it a haircut cause it looks like a giant Ghia Pet. LOL

The set up looks real good...And the vent was a good fix for your air lock ..

Very nice pond!

may I ask what spring flow is? Cause the stuff in the 1st barrel looks like plastic shipping strap.

 

[DrDave]

It is plastic shipping strap and it is one of the best medias you can use since it is cheap and backflushes all the solids easily without disturbing the anerobic bacteria.

It is 2 boxes is Spring Flow bought 4 years ago by my father and he did not use it so I did. It's the same as shipping strap Spring flow is just more money and a little more bendable....
