Here in the Uk many of the built in skimmers like Helix, Alantic are not available. We can get Aquascape which over priced and the Oace Biosys, which is a little small to fit a my pump in.
My pond is quite a comtempoary looking pond so a inlet bay want look right and I think it will over complcate things
So I was intend to build a little nock in my pond which will be coved by a deck with a lift up hatch, so I was thinking of putting in a somthing like a Oase AquaSkim 40, will a pump behind it. The design of pond means the nock with the skimmer in will not easily be seen.
I read the Helix get good reviews, but what I can tell it's just a round surface skimmer in a box, so why not just use a round surface skimmer?
Also I was just going to use a submersible pump, easy to use and the water helps keeps the pump noise down, any reason why not too?
