Simply Koi and More Koi

the easiest way of using airlifts is to use the 4" pipework from the bottom drain. use the vertical length of pipe that comes out of the pond to place your uplift air tube in and the let gravity take the water through your filter and back to the pond... just stick a 10mm air line down with no a...

i have a Koi Quarantine tank for sale in good condition with filter box ..£200 message me

also on the above link is a solar powered system.......

you could always divert to drain waste water after treatments.

think of all that loverly fishy pooh, nitrogen rich water that your plants would love.....

heres a bit of interesting info..
especially the 20,000 ltrs per day...

ok so what if you removed water from a bore-hole dug in your garden ( i think the limit is a couple of thousand gallons a day) and then returned the water to the ground via a soak-away . that way is doesnt matter if your house is on a meter and lso the water should be at a stable temp all year round...

how about building one yourself..

electric sander will remove the limescale and roughen up the fibreglass ready for recoating

if you have not got an elec carving knife the either a jig-saw or a circular saw does the job. just mark the lines with a marker pen and chop away

i'd put my best estimate at 15 cubic meters
but you don't need to fill it with all soil. fill most of it with rubble/rubbish then wack it down and top it off with topsoil and turf.

so nice to see your project coming to a satisfactory end... just a bit of turf to neaten up the lawn and itll be a stunning garden i bet your glad not to be using those power-hungry electric pumps :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: come on then what is the total wattage for the pond then. (probably less ...

WOW
i love to see a pond nearing completion. looks fab
so how many Watts of power are you looking at using to power this pond.....? (i bet its under 400watts)
and
are you going to make any provisions for adding a pergola later on.?

give Avenue Fisheries a ring, they'll be able to tell you...they sell it and are prtty good on price.

i thnk you need to rehink your plumbing for the air. its fairly easy to balance two uplifts from one airpump, three or four gets a bit difficult any more as youve found is just stupid...... if i read it right you have 4 air pumps trying to run 14 uplifts . try plumbing it so each pump runs just two ...

hi, another thing to think of is which pumps are you going to use for moving the water around.
you have the ideal chance to use some of the low wattage pumps available. a good choice of pump now could save you a fortune later.

if this is anyhelp i have used these for fry food and found them very good
