Possible Overload

Really depends on if you're feeding them. I only have a 500 gph pump with a
40-50 gallon filter on the 1,000 gallon lily pond (one big veggie filter).
I don't feed the fantail goldfish out there. In the fall I will pull out
the adults to winter inside in a 55 gallon aquarium. By spring I always
have a couple dozen babies that make it thru the winter. Some I keep to
grow and some I sell.

My only water quality issue with the lily pond has been the pH in spring
that finally settles down in July. I'm hoping that finally connecting a
filter to the bottom drain and skimmer, so I don't have to do a complete
drain and muck out each spring, will stop that. ~ jan
