Books & articles descibing the major components of pond (aquatic system perspective).
Can anybodey recomend a good book (or internet article) on designing
ponds from a technical stand point (as in filters, substrate, plumbing, settlment tanks, pumps & skimmers). So far Ive dug a 6000ltr hole (level at the top and bricked around the circumrrence) and built a 3.6mtr span bridge over it. I have also added a soakwell to catch run off, but have not plubed it yet, nor lined the pond.. I have also created a large briked in section capable of holding a pump. Thus my hard labour part is done,,,, I am interested in knowing what are the major components of a pond (other than the basin) and what are main solotions employed to achive each of the components. Should my pond use substrate, what kind of fillters do what kind of work, what materials are best. e.c.t. I prefer a book that dosn't oversimplify things.... Any recomendations. -dm |

Also, if you sign-in to www.koiphen.com you find pictures/schematics/diagrams of what other people have done. Hope you keep posting and letting us know how it is going, what you decided to do, etc. ~ jan ----------------- (Do you know where your water quality is?) |
