Thank you all for your assistance. Please stop worrying, the fish
aren't overcrowded - I hope! Pond size is 8 x 4 x 2(feet). Just
guessed at the gallons, sorry How many gallons to the cubic foot
anyway?

If a perfect rectangle w/straight sides, flat bottom, you'd have 478.72
gallons. Still too small for growing out 13 adult fish.

If removing the foam doesn't extend the time between cleaning of the
filter, removing some fish or enlarging the filter could be considered....
and/or than there is always digging the next pond.... larger. ;o) ~ jan
