Ducks are quite messy, but its still doable. Bottom drains are a must.
Unless the majority if not all of the waste from the ducks are
removed, yur water will attain high quanities of nitrate and
phosphates, which lead to bacterial problems with fish, so a settle
ment chamber and dedicated filter cleaning and emptying of sediemnt or
settlement chamber is needed. Checkout koiphen.com, there are a few
there that have built ponds to house koi and ducks together and from
what I recall their systems seem to work just fine...Just register and
log in and ask about the koi ponds with ducks.....or just search for
ducks...Good info is there.
