Hi Guys and gals
A little about my self..
I have been in koi and pond for over 5 years. I have always every year redid my pond or made a new one and let me tell you ponding is all fun but redos get old altought I love to do it. So In the summer of 07 I made a trip to Dans Berry Texas to Bretts koi farm, Need less to say I had a blast on the trip. I was having dinner with Savanna ( Cant spell it right sorry Sav) And Roak (2 Fine folks of that city
) We were talking about koi and ponds and I told them about mine. So we starting saying I should have made mine bigger, And I did so ovewr MY summer of 08 And the spring ive almost dug my new pond. Its a BIG hole I tell you ! It 10 x 21 x 5.5 Over 8,000 gallons compared to the 1,700 gallon puddle I once had.
So now that im done boreing you ill give you the run down on my pond which will never be done
.
OK the pond is 10x21x5.5 over 8,000 gallons. The fillter is a Sand and gravel fillter that is 10x5x3 and is 1,700 gallons nothing fancey just your basic fillter.
There are 2 4'' airated bottom drains that lead to my 2 360 gallon settlement chambers and from that goe to my pump for the bottom drain that pumps 8,500 gallons at a 1 ft ? lift ?. then to 2 55 gallon static fillter ( 55 gallon berral full of PVC shavings) and then leads to my gravel fillter.
From the 16'' savio skimmer it goes to a 30 gallon berral full of nothing then to my 5,500 gph pump to the gravel fillter I think BUT I may end up adding a another 360 gallon fillter.
So for now this is all i have ill try to get some pixs tommro for yall.
