Simply Koi and More Koi

As previous post
I will have hopefully sometime tomorrow am, a 6FT X 4FT X4FT f/glass tank, with a flat base( no legs etc).
I have in my possession a 55watt u/v lamp (never used by me)/tube has been replaced for new as has quartz sleeve.
1 x grunfloss pump + a submersable pump of unknown capacity but a guestimate of 1000 gall/hour pumping on the level
Enough trays to make a trickle tower/bakki shower of some sort-
2 redundant fluid beds
A few other bits and piieces including a secoh 100 and a max air ring with connecting pipe.
Any ideas on design and any known pit falls.
I have all summer to complete this as I havent got a shed to fit it in yet.
In fact I have now idea where I am going to put it but I will worry about that later.
Any thoughts ideas please feel free to air them.

Hi,

Does the tank have a bottom drain? If not could you fit one to it? Or use a retrofit bottom drain.

You might be able to pump direct from drain to shower, or have some sort of mechanical filtration first e.g. static K1 or a gravity fed sieve.

Once you've got the tank, post some piccies, might help a bit.

Thanks,

Daniel

I will post piccies today.

See if these will upload

Obviously not.I will try again later.

Hi SOF,

OK so its around about 600gln so a nice size what will you be using it for

I would defiantly run some king of shower as they just work so well and take up no space at all

You could also use the fluid bed filters on another line as more filtration the better

If you can cut in a bottom drain then go for it nothing stooping you having two one to each filter

But you will need somewhere to keep it as this isn't a little tank and i am sure they will notice it in the living room

Its me again.
How do I reduce the pixels to 50.Somebody once posted a program, but must be on old computer.

Just put your pictures on a site like the ones below and then copy and paste the pictures from the site is the easiest way IMO.

Hey SOF looks like a perfect location, just buy a lean too type green house and build it around it, Job done.....nobody will notice

I think the wifes noticed it already!

Yeah... Nothing gets past THEM!
